Millions Expected Downtown

Check out this notice from our building manager re: election day. It is going to be insane!

Good afternoon,

Downtown buildings have been notified by the City of Chicago that crowds in the millions are expected downtown for the Grant Park rally for Senator Obama and many other rallies and parties on Election Day, Tuesday, November 4, 2008. Various government offices have suggested that employers notify all employees of the possibility of evening commute issues; the need for additional security at the building; to ask that any non-essential deliveries be postponed; and have even suggested that downtown employers shorten the work day, if possible, to allow for employees to leave the downtown area in case of any potential danger associated with the large crowds. Zeller Realty Group will be increasing the security presence at 500 North Michigan Avenue beginning at 3:00 p.m. and will be very closely monitoring anyone entering the building, including delivery drivers.

Please be sure to carry your after-hours key card with you if you plan to enter the building anytime after 5:00 p.m. And please notify the Office of the Building if you intend to close your business early on this day. Any deliveries should be scheduled, as usual, through the Office of the Building as well.

If you plan to participate in any rallies or celebrations on this evening, please stay safe and aware of your surroundings. Events such as these, that involve large crowds, are a perfect opportunity for pickpockets and thieves to strike.

As always, if you have any questions or need any additional information, do not hesitate to contact the Office of the Building at any time.
