If you live in the Chicago area, you might have experienced first-hand the annoyance of "chair dibs," but Chair-Free-Chicago is now pushing back to stop this nuisance. While it has been a time-honored tradition of the windy-city to place chairs or other items in shoveled parking spaces, let’s face it - it can be quite the murderous feeling when no one but a chair is using a perfectly free space.
So if you live in Chicago and happen to be one of those individuals who would like the tradition to stop, take part in the Chair-Free-Chicago campaign and put those flyers up!
