Universal should just slap its name on the “L” and dub it “Universal Horror Unleashed: Chicago”, easy – peasy…!!!
“Universal is bringing a new year-round horror experience to Chicago, city announces – NBC Chicago” So they will be running tours through Chicago City Hall and Mayor Brandon Johnson’s office?
