It was honestly the most pandemic meeting ever. Ten minutes into the 18th annual (and first-ever virtual) Wrigley Field Community Meeting the only things that had been communicated were instructions on muting, unmuting, whose audio was garbled, whose audio was incoherent, and, finally, instructions to turn off cameras in order to spare the bandwidth. No one was immune. I could only hear every fifth word of 44th Ward Alderman Tom Tunney’s opening remarks, but I imagine if there was any critical information there he repeated it later when his audio situation cleared up a bit.
Before I jump into information from the meeting I’d like to comment that the City of Chicago and the Cubs would do well to offer virtual access to this meeting in the future.
