Newspaper boxes along Michigan Avenue moved for Obama rally

To all:

Due to security concerns the city would like to remove all news paper boxes from along Michigan avenue on Tuesday November 4th.  The exact boundaries are Roosevelt to Wacker going from the Lake to 100ft west of Michigan.  This will just be for the one day.  The city will collect the boxes and replace them the following day.    We will make note of the locations of the boxes and replace them as they stand today.  If you have lists of locations you would like to forward to me to make sure placement is consistant please feel free to do so.   I apologize for the late notice and I understand that you will most likely have questions and concerns.   Please be assured we are only doing this for reasons of security and do not wish for it to have an affect on standard day to day operations after Tuesday.
