Labor Day 2012

Good morning, everyone, it's 11:41am. Happy Labor Day to all of you. Today means a lot of things here in the city. The beaches are closing after today, lots of events and festivities are ending, and all Chicago Public School students head back to school tomorrow. In honor of that, I will be on a special "Back-2-School" monitoring schedule tomorrow, Thursday and Friday. Tomorrow, I will be monitoring the Zones in the afternoon, as I have a couple of errands to run in the morning at the time the kids go to school. We'll see how all of this goes tomorrow. Here's crime for today.
