Chicago Makes the Record Book

Yes the Sun bathers were out in force on Chicago beaches Monday. Temperatures reached 2007’s highest levels. Southwest winds gusted to over 37 mph and brought the city’s earliest 90° temperature in almost 13 years. It was the first official 90° high since a 97° reading on Aug 2, 2006. Highs of 90° were also recorded at Midway Airport and Northerly Island on Chicago’s lakefront. The current along the lakefront was excessively strong and coming home from Northwestern University yesterday, I noticed Chicago Police massed at Howard Park staring out over the lake. It seems that a couple of guys decided to take a two man raft out for a trip. Well they were struggling to paddle back to shore and did get caught in the current and undertow and needed to be rescued by the USCG.

Guess spring has sprung!

This little note came in from Holland & Knight this morning.. Thanks Dennis!
