Has anyone been to the North Bar on North in the Lenox Hotel yet?
The skaters in the park on North are always skating.
What is the deal with these empty pipes. Are they just cheaper than fill? Do they make it bouncy. I am pretty sure this place is becomming a playground.
Has anyone ever seen potato bugs congregate. Here there were hundreds of them. I wish I could have gotten a better pic of all of them, but the flash scared them away. I didn't realize that they did big groups.
They got the sept 11th flags out at the red cross center as tribtue to the victims of the world trade center terrorist attacks.
No comment.
This "tough guy" actually stopped in the middle of the intersection to flex. I wish I could have gotten that on camera, he looked redic.
We went to FWS to get sme fabric for re-apolstry.
(e:matthew) is testing it out here
Normally, I don't like blue balls, but these ones were really cute.
As were the fluffy brown ones
I saw this trash outside a house at summer and elmwood. I didn't think you were allowed to put trash out all strewn around like that.
Is seems so weird to have the big iron fence at the psyche center. Who is is making feel safe, them or the people outside. Seeing as the gate is just open, it serves no real purpose, why not just remove it along with that gothic monstrocity - the Richardson complex. I say blow that creepy thing the fuck up. It is the one thing that I am definately not interested in preserving. What is it, a monument to cruelty?
This picture drew my attention so I took a pic of the picture hanging on the wall at underground - which I might add is really lame now. We paid a 3 dollar cover for a not so packed bar. At least (e:jim) and I got to dance a little bit. I would suggest never eating fish with white wine, drinking a chocolate martini and then dancing.
(e:jim) and (e:james) and (e:terry) hugged the biggest tree on the way home.
The next morning some people int he driveway for the church next door were freaking out about something they wanted to hit with a shovel. I think it was some animal that got in the church that they were afraid of. Maybe a squirrel.
Where are the huge pipes? Also, are the brown and blue balls Christmas tree decorations? Why are you buying them so early?
oh, i love that gianormous tree on Franklin. I was so happy to see it still standing after the "October surprise" last year. Or is that just because (e:Terry), (e:Jim) and (e:James) are holding it up?
I think the Richardson complex is creepy in a good way. Of course, i love goth things, though, so maybe i am not the best judge on that. Doesn't excuse anything that may have gone on in there, though... but i can't think that any psyc facility that is as old as that one is that doesn't have a tainted history.
I actually like old pscyh hospitals and MR institution buildings and hate to see them torn down. The outside facade that is so overwhelming, powerful and a little scary is a physical representation of the experiences of the people who resided within. There are societies that exist to preserve these old state institutions. I do like them to be preserved as a monument to cruelty. Sort of a "those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it" kind of thing. I can tell you stories from people who have lived in state hospitals and I hate for people to ever forget just what a bad idea they were.
