Eastering

Finally. Some bucket boys get fined.




Easter Sunday. Bar's open at 9:30am.




Pic only shows about half of the Lil white specks. Each one is a cigarette butt.




Every day I stand between these two statues and shout, "And now — Piertotum Locomotor! Hogwarts is threatened! Man the boundaries, protect us, do your duty to our school!"




Exhibit B for veganism.




Whither Pop-N-Fresh?

Near the Opening

I knew it!

Wrigley gets a new souvenir booth.

We got a giant mac statue complete with fake bacon bits but no bus shelter.

I knew it!

I really hope this is owned by Randy Jackson.

No exaggeration, there are 6 different sub-departments from the CTA with almost 15 people going over every inch of the Addison Redline stop.

Yes We Have No

The stairwell of the police dept. parking lot. Independent homeless shelter.




They actually ran out of cement and were waiting for a truck to arrive.




The defunct(?) Wrigleyville Arms still receives building supplies in the alley. More bricks!




Street banana.




Terrible new seating in Wrigley.




Some storage containers, a tent, some signs... Voila! Cubs Store! (corner of Addison and Clark)

Irish Harbingers

Submitted by B. Lyons. Girl vomiting in the mens room at Chens.

Line for John Barleycorn. It's 6pm.

The RedLine brings in fresh reinforcements.

Line for Douches.. I mean, Deuces.

For the first time ever, the CPD closed off Clark Street (between Sheffield & Addison) to car traffic. Many people, instead of going into the blaring, overcrowded clubs/bars simply bought beer and drank in the streets.

In respectful and loving memory of the Transcontinental Railroad, people fill the tables at Chen's Restaurant. Note the crowd out the window!

The wearer bought this at his college.

Around 11pm, CPD begins to "quarantine"the area of Clark St. No one allowed in.

Irish Pimp.

Trail of Beers.

To their credit, the Chicago Dept. of Streets and Sanitation had this taken care of by 2am.

This is from one bar (SportsCorner)

More people than there were snakes in Ireland.


T-Shirts I Saw, But Didn't Take a Pic of:
"Not Irish, I'm Black."
"Rub My Boobs for Luck."
"This Shirt Will Look Good Tomorrow Morning."
"John Deere."

Will the CPD block off Clark St. for all events now? Cubs games? Concerts?

Grass under Glass

B-boy photo-op.




@TrizzyFolarin is blowing up, y'all.




So much for the "these are just water pipes, officer."

Corner the Market

Someone hasn't paid their carting fees.




To be honest, when the driver showed up he looked NOTHING like Mike Ditka.




Kermit loves the CTA.




What the hell are they building on Addison & Clark? I hope it's another bank. Oo, maybe a douchebar!

Houston, IL.

Sounds like an anti-Irish joke circa Conan O'Brien Simpsons.




In the bathroom at the Melrose Diner.




The RIP message gets second billing to a UFC fight and a new videogame. Classy.




Used Bookstore selling an old movie starring a dead celebrity on a dead medium.
