HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. — The rhythms of normal life began to sound again in Highland Park Wednesday morning.
Two restaurants along the parade route where a gunman killed seven and wounded dozens posted signs in their windows saying they’d reopen. A man told reporters their cars would be towed if they kept parking in his grocery store’s lot. A school bus full of tiny summer campers drove by.
But the children perched up to peer at cameramen, at yellow crime scene tape, at the site of a massacre. And as more businesses began to open and locals started to trickle onto the shaken town’s streets, the people in Highland Park felt life return to something different.
