Mayor Lori Lightfoot has issued a sweeping curfew order on all liquor sales across Chicago, banning sales after 9 p.m. in the city’s latest attempt to curb the coronavirus pandemic.
“This is not punitive. It’s protective," Lightfoot said.
Earlier in the week, Lightfoot first floated the idea of enacting new rules to stop Chicagoans from congregating outside of liquor stores.
Lightfoot’s liquor store curfew is the latest step taken by the city to stem COVID-19. On March 26, she closed Chicago’s lakefront, The 606 elevated trail and the Riverwalk after widespread flouting of Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s stay-at-home order.
At least three liquor stores on Chicago’s West Side previously agreed voluntarily to close early to encourage people to stay home. Southwest Side Ald. Raymond Lopez, 15th, also announced Tuesday that liquor stores in his ward voluntarily agreed to shut down at 5 every afternoon.

So how does cramming the same number of purchasers into fewer hours separate people?
What about haircuts?
Barber shops/salons, not so much. At least for lori light in the loafers. Speaking of loafers, where’s rahm?
“Enthusiasms!”
Apparently, she thinks that she is a hammer and everything around her is a nail.

You have to bring the stylist to your own hizzy, fo shizzle.
Ha ha ha .. .
Don't drink and cut someone's hair. What an odd question.
“So how does cramming the same number of purchasers into fewer hours separate people?”
That is a really good question.
She’s doing this to take attention away from her recent haircutting scandal.
In case you missed it: No one in Chicago is supposed to see a hair stylist until further orders. Then Her Honor went and saw a hair stylist.
Coming from the one that got caught getting her hair done despite salon’s, barbershops, stylists were ordered shut down under the state’s stay-at-home order......GG! /s
Walter Winchell got a paycheck long after doing voice overs on The Untouchables.
A delayed benefit.
Well THAT can’t end well...

She thinks firewater bad
