This report comes from the Tribune..."Chicago police safely disposed of two suspicious boxes behind the Bank of America Theatre late Tuesday and were turning their attention toward finding the person or persons who left them. Though the boxes left in the alley behind the theater at 18 W. Monroe St. were determined to be non-dangerous, police weren't calling the incident a mere hoax.
"I would say it's a little bit more than a hoax," police Bomb and Arson Cmdr. Eugene Roy said just before midnight Tuesday night near the theater. "It appears that this was deliberately set up to provoke this type of response."
Police were alerted at about 9 p.m. when two boxes -- each with a note -- were found behind the theater. One letter read: "This is not a bomb" while the second note read: "This is not going to end good," Chicago Police Lt. Charles Flynn said.
Staff at both the theater and the adjacent Hampton Inn hotel evacuated their businesses, while police shut down several nearby streets to traffic. The evacuation interrupted a performance of the Tony-winning musical "Jersey Boys."
Look, Bomber dude, I understand your feelings about "Jersey Boys," really I do. I worked at an Oldies station for ten years and when I hear "Rag Doll" or "Big Girls Don't Cry" I still develop facial tics (I can only imagine what those poor actors must think about those songs after performing them every...single...day), but this is really going too far. Do what I do instead. Don't go to the show.
