I just got a phone call from the nice folks at Million Air MDW informing me that Chicago will be closed to GA air traffic tomorrow, 6/11 from 9am to 12 noon for some VIP visit. This was gonna be my first trip to Chicago, it sure would have sucked if I didn't catch the NOTAM until tomorrow morning before driving to the airport!
Here's the details; the central fix appears to be downtown, just northwest of Meigs.
