St. Patrick's Weekend.
Saturday, March 15, 2008

This first batch of photos were taken BETWEEN noon and 1pm. Repeat: NOON and ONE!!


Buses full of "revelers" begin to show up.


Also, trolleys.

And, schoolbuses.


and then two more trolleys.


Again, BEFORE 2pm, a line to get into Barleycorns.


LATER, that night....


A line to get into the Irish Oak. The blurry gent on the left is throwing free Maker's Mark t-shirts to the line.
BLURRY GUY: T-Shirts! Maker's Mark t-shirts for the hot girls!
HOT GIRLS: Yay!
GUYS AT END OF LINE: HEY! What about the guys freezing out here!
BLURRY GUY: Here's some shirts for the nerds!


Clark is a parking lot between Addison and Sheffield.


Lines to get into both Mullens and Red Ivy. Lines!


The Next Day... Sunday...



Vomit #1


The Dreaded Street Tampon.


Vomit #2


Weird "If You Catch It, We'll Cook It!" Lobster Game in the middle of an office on Clark.


Discarded pizzas and mound of cigarettes.


It makes me laugh. It seems like a weird "to-do" list... Buy Milk, Feed Cat, Establish Barbershop.



Vomit #3



Vomit #4


Vomit #5

Vomit #6

Thanks for driving the snakes out of our homeland, Saint Pat!!

Yes, I'm the next William Wegman.


Do these notes really work?


the safest random corner on Clark.


tiny shoe


and another business bites the dust.

Now available at Walgreens on Clark Street, High School Musical Cheese Dip and Cracker Sticks! Taste the Cheese!


Yep. One month later still there.


I'm just surprised "you're" wasn't used.


Sad, abandoned afro wig.


New Clark Street Game! Vomit or Soup! You Make the Call!


Lots of fun musical birthday cards. The Superman card has the Superman theme. And you can see the Baja Boys have their "Who Let The Dogs Out." and of course, kids love the "Boy Birthday - I Make Sound."

And lastly, Not on Clark Street, but on Fremont Street in Las Vegas.
A Gentlemen's Club has a video billboard featuring sexy ladies dancing in bikinis. Eventually, they take off their tops to expose their supple breasts. Now, not even in Vegas, can you have 30 feet boobies dancing in public, so their sweet pillows are hidden behind words like "WOW!" or "Hooray!" .... here's my favorite....

Construction on Clark. Bear Left. Frog Right.


Pile of warnings.


The smoking ban has increased street garbage directly outside every. single. bar. Of course, it's probably illegal to compel tavern owners to provide ashtrays/garbagecans outside their establishment (and unfair), but... it would be smarter for the place.


Gross. Black lungs and black ice.



More blackice. This mound will probably be here for a month.


Coming soon! More pizza! I hear it's incredible.


15 degree weather can't put a chill on ridiculous bar fights. This four squadcar problem was to break up/settle a shouting/pushing match between two sets of gals.


I got this with my change at Clarke's. On President's Day. It's a President's Day Miracle!


Fooling around with the iPhone camera.

Hidden backstage at the brand-new ComedySportz on Belmont.


The new personal security store on Belmont & Clark knows what buttons to press... posted on the window? A list of police complaints from the past two weeks.


But more to the point...


Closed for February.. but which Clark Street business is it?



Aw, reggae-less February.
I was once told, as I passed by a group of lady birthday celebrators, that I "had it going on."



Modern art in the Punkin Donuts parking lot.


Snow News Day.

At a local coffee/tea shop. Some person with a marker has made the sign more apt.


Subway, having never recovered from their smashed window, closes for good.


Holy Encased Meats!


I enjoy the thought of someone sitting down with a pad of paper and coming up with a bunch of hilarious license plates.


Someone failed writing 101. This bulletin board makes it seem as if Larry usually takes on other things and is just now getting around to taking on guns and corruption.


I have no idea where this sign is from.


Sad and true.

2008 is here!

Abandoned keys.


Sad New Year's Hat.


A group of very drunk people attempting to get a cab on Clark Street at 2:30am. It was cold and wet.
