Suntimes rains on Sox parade.

Chicago hasn't had a reason to have a ticker tape parade in 20 years, since the Bears had won their title in '85. Today we Chicagoans celebrate the Sox! As they started down by The Cell and went up MLK drive till they got to their location in the heart of the loop where shredded Suntimes papers were showered upon the champs! Loud music and cheering fans was all you could hear. The people clad in suits, jerseys and sox paraphernalia filled the closed off LaSalle encompassed every color of the rainbow cheering for the double Decker buses as they passed. I saw a lot of people crying as the players and coaches passed waved to everyone. The accumulated paper on the ground reached 4 inches and I felt a little home sick for winter which is right around the corner! As the Sox franchise celebrated their victory, I think all of Chicago had its day as well! Maybe someday soon we will see the trib floating through the air as well? I guess the other half of the city can still dream!
