Willie Parker woke up braced for action Thursday morning.
The 66-year-old lives in a tent in the West Loop. The week before, he found a sticker attached to it that seemed to indicate that if it wasn’t cleared that morning, it would be removed by the city.
“We’re waiting for the city to come with a wrecking crew and come and confiscate the tents,” Parker said.
