You know the song New Years Day, by U2, and that the first line of that iconic song is All is quiet on New Years Day. This year, however, Chicagoans may be singing; All riot on New Years Day.

Last night aired the “interview” we did with Chicago Tonight’s Paris Shutz about Chicago’s new parking system and how it affects motorcycle and scooter riders. It’s short and to the point but we feel it definitely needs more attention.
