Day 122 - 8.18.10 - The Walk Home (Part 5) - The Blago Edition

Today, the disgraced former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich was convicted on just one of the twenty-something counts brought against him by the Feds for corruption and various other nefarious activities. The window pictured is part of a store front on North Ave. that happens to be papered up with an old Red Eye from the day after Blago was indicted, over a year ago. As it so happens, this edition also covered the Bears' acquisition of quarterback Jay Cutler. That was a big day for the city. I'm hoping that as the weeks pass by and we head into the winter months, the Red Eye will have more stories about Jay (and many Bears wins) and less about Rod. Unlikely, as Rod can't seem to shut up or stay off of TV.... Unlikely, as the Bears O line still scares me... but a guy can hope...
