Michigan Avenue was shut down for the filming of Transformers 3. It caused havoc on traffic and made people a bit cranky, but I thought it was fun (probably b/c I didn’t have any where to be and I wasn’t driving!).

Stay tuned for these scenes in a theatre near you….

I should note that I actually did have somewhere to be. I was taking the train to my sister’s, grabbed a new book and dove right in. I was so engrossed in my book, I missed my stop! Oops! I felt terrible. My mom had to drive 30 minutes out of her way to pick me up. I apologized over and over to my mom and sister, but I was punished enough by the conductor who made me feel like a total idiot when I asked if my stop was approaching. “What are you doing? You missed that stop! Pay attention!” (his exact words – ouch!).
