  For those of you grousing about the Ferris Bueller float's authenticity yadda yadda, and how it represents a certain part of Chicago, this event was open to ANYONE who found Mina and Kara's Project Bueller website. I found them on line and didn't know a soul. They welcomed everyone who showed up, which has not been the case in some other similar events I've participated in. Mina and Kara captured the essence of Bueller, which is to LIVE EVERY DAY LIKE YOU MEAN IT. It was inspiring. The looks on the faces of the crowd was totally worth it.

  No one told me Ferris Bueller was politically incorrect! But seriously, that's totally what the north side looks like. So really, it is correct. When they make a movie about the south side, it will be called "Adventures in Babysitting" which only misrepresents U. of Chicago frat parties and that building with the slanty top.

  Wow. After seeing this, a float based on a movie that gives a distorted view of Chicago -- make that a white suburbanite's distorted view of Chicago (John Hughes == North Shore), in the parade that made me proudest to grow up in NYC, I really have to wonder what I'll be missing if I never make it back.
