Chicago Mayor Happy For Transformers 3 Destruction

Daley held a press conference Wednesday to tout the Windy City's blockbuster-readiness and to assure people that the proper precautions would be taken when Transformers 3 shoots there in July and August. "He also asked 'everyone for our understanding' when the filming leads to 'street closures or other potential problems,'" noted the Chicago Tribune, clearly anticipating the overpowering stench of the script. Hang in there, folks. [Chicago Tribune]
