ABOUT THE BUGHOUSE SQUARE DEBATES

Bughouse Square (from “bughouse,” slang for mental health facility), the popular name for Washington Square Park, was the city’s boisterous and radical free-speech space from the 1910s through the 1930s. Orators mounted soapboxes and spoke to responsive, vocal crowds, and bohemians, poets, atheists, and religionists of all persuasions entertained bystanders. The square’s core contributors, however, came from the ranks of the Wobblies, men and women of the Industrial Workers of the World whose radical views, wit, and humor made them champion soap boxers and perennial crowd favorites. World War II and a post-war crackdown against socialists and communists, however, led to Bughouse Square’s decline and, by the mid 1960s, it ceased to exist. The Newberry Library revived the Bughouse Square Debates in 1986.

The FREE Car Wash is located at:

Junie B. Jones comes out and shares treasures from her Big Pink Trunk of Junk. She’ll probably be a  little nervous at first, but then her bus driver, Mr. Woo, always convinces her that the kids are all friendly and that they’d be getting along in no time at all. She warms up to all of her new friends very quickly and shared stories and costumes and instruments from many of the books written about her by author Barbara Park.  The event also features an official “book stamping”.

This summer, the seventh “Junie B. Jones Stupid Smelly Bus Tour” hits the road- a national tour that brings Junie B. live and in-person, across the country to meet her fans.

“You’ve got to love it, first the Hawks and now the World Cup,” said Frank Klopas, a Chicago soccer legend who was on the U.S. World Cup team in 1994 and is now the technical director of the Chicago Fire.

There are a few Chicago connections with this years USA World Cup team.  U.S. defender Carlos Bocanegra once played for the Fire, as did a few other players, and Bob Bradley, the U.S. coach, once coached for the Fire. His son, midfielder Michael Bradley, spent years in Chicago as a boy, hanging out at practices, kicking the ball with players like Klopas.

Mayor Daley told reporters on Thursday that private sponsors, not taxpayers, will cover the cost of the rally. WGN Meteorologist Paul Konrad says it will be warm and humid and there is a chance of rain, although the showers should hold off until after the event.

A rally will take place about 11:30 a.m. at East Wacker Drive and North Michigan Avenue.  The Blackhawks team and front-office management will be riding double-decker buses along the parade route, city Special Events Director Megan MacDonald said.

About 350,000 people are expected at the rally, the same number that attended the White Sox’ 2005 victory parade, McDonald said.
