(Photo Credit: Getty Images) When I contact the Secret Service about traffic details of motorcades and dignitary visits – for road and ramp closures – they very politely and professionally tell me to sit on it and spin.

More than a few east side commuters are in for a rude awakening. Today, the 38th St. bridge over the railroad tracks – from Arlington Ave. to ShadelandAve. – closed for rehabilitation. The four-lane bridge hasn’t had a makeover since 1995, so we’re due. Work should be completed in November of this year. In the meantime, local […]
