What a day!
We arrived in the Loop around 8:30am for the Blackhawks Rally scheduled to kick off around 10:30. Obviously a late start buy hey, at least we got down there! I was watching the news before we left and Wacker & Michigan was already filling in so we didn’t even consider trying to get up there.
Found a spot near State & Washington and set up camp on the curb. And waited. And waited. It was getting really warm out but we didn’t care. This was gonna be a party!
A little after 11:00, the parade kicked off. The Loop hasn’t seen anything like this since 2005! Ticker tape floating down and a roar from the crowd that could be heard blocks away.
All the players were on top of double decker buses and while a few of them didn’t look like they had slept since the win, they all appeared pretty overwhelmed by the crowd.
After all, it’s not every day 2 million people come out to cheer for you!
