Johnny Depp is in town shooting a new movie here in Chicago. It's called "Public Enemies." They're doing a bunch of shooting on Clark Street and Newport. Of course, perfect timing with the start of Cubs season. So, Cubs traffic from 11am to 6pm and then trucks and gawking from 10pm to 7am. And Newport is closed off completely. Above, check out an old-timey ad.

10:30pm, Wednesday. Spectators show up to watch the shooting. Traffic snarls.

In the movie, there's a giant ladder fight like Jackie Chan. These are the stunt ladders.
