The streets will be lined with Tusken Raiders and car-jackers

The first race will be christened by Lori as the Dan Ryan run! Bread and Circus’s! The race will coincide with a marksman competition.

What is this ‘Lake Shore Drive’ of which you speak?

It’s now Jean Baptiste Point DuSable Lake Shore Drive? I enjoying hearing the woke stumble through that one!

It will always be Lake Shore Drive to Chicagoans.
