At 6 p.m. Friday evening, a couple hundred people gathered in LOVE Park to hold candles and signs reading "Je Suis Charlie," in solidarity with France and the 12 people killed this Wednesday at the Paris offices of satire magazine Charlie Hebdo. A couple people waved large French flags, and a surprising number of conversations among those gathered were French-language.
Every media outlet in town turned out, as far as we could tell.
