gray sweatpants with a stripe along the leg, white sneakers, a black jacket and

the weather worn Sox hat.

The University of Chicago Lab School is in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood. The

school is a stone building with Gothic architecture. It looks very much like a

cathedral. The grounds are surrounded by wrought iron fencing. A team of what

appeard to be secret service agents entered through a different door.

There was a family (asporard to be grandparents, a mother and at least 1 child)

at the playground equipment when the POTUS-elect arrived.

On the street outside the school, another family (two adult men and an adult

woman) had a flat tire on their Toyota sedan. The family seemed startled when

the presidential caravan rolled up. But it turned out to be to their benefit.

Secret service agents assisted with the tire change.

4:20 and went to a home in 7400 block of Euclid Ave.
