All bridges heading into downtown except for Lasalle are up. State Police checking ID’s again to get access downtown on expressways. Streets and San trucks blocking many roads. CPD confirming looting is still “not contained.”

Stunned by the loss of Dick Johnson. I’ll always remember long chats we’d have by his office door, next to mine. 20 minutes would go by so fast and we’d talk about news, sports, food, family. He LOVED his family. He was a GREAT writer and storyteller. He will be so missed.
