Comedian, Eric Barry wrote a letter for Huffington Post saying goodbye to Chicago and Chicagoans aren’t too happy about it. The piece chronicled Barry’s 3½ years here, with him writing about having trouble making new friends, meeting women, near death experiences and struggling with transportation (WHO TOLD HIM THE L WAS AMAZING?!).
“Chicago seemed like a place so full of hope and promise” after moving from San Francisco in 2014, Barry wrote. “But three some odd years later, my own spirit, just like my body, have come to feel beaten, defeated.”
People are pissed because he goes on to criticize our proud city, culture and politics.
You can read the full article HERE, but Brian & Lou will have Eric on to discuss the article at 8a TOMORROW!
