Boy howdy have they been coming up out of the ground! Some are maybe an inch and a half long and the others are about two inches long and it’s getting noisier and noisier around here!
I moved from the North Shore 20 years ago and haven’t been to Ravinia since. I now live in the Oak Park area and we go to Grant Park in the summer for live music. You get the city noise-nothing like ambulance siren to disturb a solo flute passage-but I remember this Ravinia cicadas as being deafening, particularly in late August.
First radiology contract, Springfield, IL summer 1998 at a Level 1 trauma center, AKA a ‘Knife and Gun Club’. Cicadas, I was told were in a peak 7 year cycle and they nearly drowned out the sounds of gunfire. Lovely Springfield.
Also introduced me to a perfect 10 Springfield woman. A woman with 3 tats, 3 teeth, 3 kids and a bench warrant. Lovely Springfield.
