Lolla back about the CTA
Posted Aug. 4 at 12:30 p.m.
From all accounts, I'm hearing that Lollapalooza was the business. Translation: it went very well with high attendance and low criminal activity. Wish I could have been there at least to catch Kanye West, Radiohead or Rage, but I stayed on the South Side this weekend for the most part.
So, clue me in. How did the CTA fare on this busy weekend with tens of thousands of fans converging on Grant Park. I received an e-mail from a bloke who sent me this funny sentence:
"CTA should come up more creative ways to maneuver around a lot of Lollapfoolslooz."
Guess we know what he thought. Now, I'd love to hear from others who were attending or just trying to avoid the fest that some see as a pest.
