more stuff San Diego don't got... and, oh yeah, expect some occasional minor delays

Portions of downtown Chicago streets will be shuttered and Chicago Transit Authority buses re-routed every evening this week as film crews shoot scenes for "Wanted."

Affected streets, primarily Wacker Drive, will be closed at 7 p.m. and will reopen at 6 a.m., city officials said.

The film, starring Morgan Freeman, Angelina Jolie and Chicago’s own Common, calls for a high-speed car chase that begins on Lower Wacker Drive and finishes on Upper Wacker Drive, said Richard Moskal, director of the Chicago Film Office.

The street closures will force the Chicago Transit Authority to reroute 14 bus lines starting at 7 p.m. every night this week, said a spokeswoman for the CTA.
