Your Morning Wake-Up Call for May 21, 2011

By Chuck Sudo in News on May 21, 2011 1:30PM

Good Morning, everyone. On this date in 1924 Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb tried to pull off what they believed was the perfect crime when they kidnapped and murdered Robert "Bobby" Franks. Their trial would become the first of many to be dubbed the "trial of the century." Today, we get another chance of showers and a projected high of 82 degrees. With Chicago Mayfest starting today in Lakeview, it's an auspicious forecast for the beginning of street festival season.
