The Christmas Spirits

The Christmas Spirits

It looks like jolly old Santa is waving us in to share a drink. Unfortunately, this establishment appears to be out of business. The owners couldn't predict their own future.

This was shot yesterday afternoon on ultra-funky Cherokee Street, way down on the south side. Note that the tiles in the entryway spell out "Hippodrome." Huh?
