No matter what your political views are (mine usually lean towards the apolitical), there is no denying that last night’s election was historical. And Chicago was right in the center of it all.
I was actually driving around on the South Side around the time Obama was declared the next President of the United States. Young people were honking their car horns and screaming out “Obama” to anyone within earshot. I even saw a young black woman pull her car over to the side of the road, get out of her car, and proceed to jump up and down with excitement. When I got back home, there were fireworks going off near our neighborhood.
Speaking of our neighborhood, here are a few photos of Obama ads that I took around our apartment:
We set off fireworks and toasted with some neighbors while other neighbors screamed obscenities and called the cops…good times!!!
