NBCChicago.com reported this morning that The Garland Building, located at Wabash Avenue and Washington Street (pictured above), was adorned by plywood sheets and two-by-fours on Friday - as were several other buildings in the Loop on Friday. One business owner, who said he's no stranger to looting and smash-and-grab burglaries, decided to take precautions as well.
“You get that phone call in the middle of the night and your heart jumps out of your chest," Scott Schapiro, the owner of Syd Jerome, a menswear shop at 20 N. Clark St., said. Schapiro said he had to pick up the pieces four separate times after his shop was hit by looters and vandals.
"We want to sleep a little more soundly at night, and this gives us a little security, and we hope that there isn’t any incident obviously, but in the event there is, we want to have maximum protection," he explained.
Jerome said his shop will remain open for business and it'll continue to operate during the week of the DNC - under 'fortified measures'. If things were to get out of control, he isn't afraid to close up shop temporarily.
