If you drove by the Thompson Center, aka the State of Illinois Building, located at 100 W. Randolph in downtown Chicago at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, February 26, 2011, you would have seen maybe 150-200 protesters beginning to gather for a 12:00 p.m. solidarity rally in support for what is presently happening in Wisconsin. If you drove by again near the end of the rally at approximately 1:00 p.m., you would have witnessed a crowd of over 2,000 filling and spilling over the entire corner of Randolph and Clark.
