Your Morning Wake-Up Call for June 17, 2011

By Chuck Sudo in News on Jun 17, 2011 12:40PM

Once again, we couldn't ask for a perfect way to cap the work week. Right now it's a bright, sunshine-y day at Chicagoist's Bridgeport headquarters, yet Skilling Central is calling for more clouds to roll in this afternoon with a chance of showers throughout 20-30 percent of the area and a high near 80. It's amusement park weather, which also reminds us that Old Chicago amusement park opened 36 years ago today.
