October 31, 2013; approximately 1930 hours. Subject returned from work driving late-model sports coupe (dark blue). Found neighborhood streets blocked off by police barricades for annual children's Halloween Parade. Streets clogged with residents in vehicles looking for a parking spot. Subject cursed. Subject drove to shopping center in East Elmhurst, parked, entered Middle Eastern restaurant. Claimed he planned to "wait it out." Subject attempted to obtain information about when parade would terminate on the Internet and by calling 311 ("like us on Facebook"). 311 operator connected subject to local precinct, the One-One-Five. Got voicemail for the community affairs officer.
At approximately 2035 hours, officer entered restaurant to order chicken sandwich to go. Subject approached officer, stating: "Excuse me, Officer, but do you know when the parade on 37th Ave. ends? The streets are all blocked off and I can't park my car." Officer responded: "I know, it's a nightmare up there. They should be just about done taking down the barriers now." Subject thanked officer and wished him a good night. No further incidents to report.
