Speaking as a Chicago resident, Schaumburg is 40 miles away. This isn’t a “Chicago” driver or incident.

Full Blues Brothers?
Low budget remake, more like.
Anyway, no one was run over, no one was shot, and that’s good.

Speaking as a western suburbs resident, it’s Chicago until you hit cornfields.

  1. Did they start with the Sears? That was considerate, shouldn’t hit anyone going into a Sears.

  2. Where was security? This is the kind of thing Mall Ninjas train their whole lives for.

  3. Were they looking for the Farmers Market?

That’s the thing about Ninjas, you never see them.

Terrible headline. No, the person went full stupid.
Only the Blues Brothers go full Blues Brothers. The Blues Brothers are fictional tricksters on a mission from a deity, with no real world repercussions .

I think we can all agree it’s Chicagoland.

I live in Elgin, and worked next to that mall for about 8 years. I’m with Liz on this one.

Oh, but there’s no “Asian Gangs” that like to hang out at the Woodfield Arcades.

Ok, but only if we collectively agree that O’Hare is not in Chicago, despite its weird gerrymandered address. The surrounding towns can fight for it.
