A Few Hours Of Peace In The Village

Today it was great to have a few hours of peace during Chicago's Bud Billiken Parade seeing people smiling, laughing and having fun. The weather may have been partly cloudy to sunny but it didn't put a damper on the people in the village getting a few hours or maybe the entire day from sirens, screams and gun fire. Even in the wild-wild 100Th there were block parties, children playing and neighbors enjoying the day with music and food. Let us all use this day as the model to build on for the rest of the year, because if we can have a few hours of peace we can have a day, a month and hopefully a year.
