The Grand Re-Opening Of Navy Pier 2021

 


On April 30, 2021, Navy Pier re-opened its door after being shut down for over a year due the Corona Virus Pandemic.  This  has been a very dangerous vice, yet, millions of people are still hooked on wearing masks and will suffer grievously with fear. Traditions having been dying off like dead flies and if you look around, one can see the emptiness behind those eyes of broken will.  However, I was able to spot five friendlies that did not live in the silent fear of uncertainty and enjoyed the Four Star Brass Band. 

Once the toe-tapping fun was over, it was time to enjoy an adult beverage at Margaritaville on this brisk and windy afternoon. "Do as the Romans," I said to myself, and I ordered the Perfect Margarita loaded with plenty Gold & Sliver Tequilas. With a twist of lime and orange, a fierce gust of wind blew that son-of-a-bitch right into my lap. "That's just great," I mumbled. Fuck!  Anyway, my ship was about to sail and I was invited by Navy Pier to take part in the Architectural Tour for approximately 95 minutes.

Ah Yes, Navy Pier has always been media friendly and that's why I love going there so much. But with this new Vax Pass I am a bit worried that Navy Pier will be treating people a little different. The Third Reich has arrived and you better have your papers in order. There where more Chicago Police Officers then there were patrons and this is just the beginning folks. Our window of freedom is closing quickly and Navy Pier will be the Beta testing site.

The new Sable Hotel is a good example with their generic looking facade shaped like three large rectangles. In the future, I can see this being used as officer's quarters during World War Seven and folks without the Vax Pass will be shipped out to Detroit, Michigan. I was buzzing off some Blue Moon when I noticed that the signal towers have changed as well. My bones are cold as the strong wind keeps slapping my face and need to get off this vessel immediately!   

Anyway, the CDC guidelines are in place and The Too Much Fun Club is open once again. My lunch at Harry Caray's was evidence and with a pint of Guinness and the Holy Cow Burger, life was good once again.  In truth, I was in the mental hospital twice last year and I almost did not make it out alive in 2020 and now a year a later I am back on top of the world. Remember folks Our Government hates us and would like to see the poor parish. Do not let them win, and head over to Navy Pier before the Brown Shirts get there. The Middle class shall rise against the political machine and victory shall be ours together.
