Evening On The Street

On the street in the Wicker Park neighborhood of Chicago as night falls. 

The family is going to the Cardinals game tonight so I'll get some new local material.                       

A Chicago Bar

The number of bars in America is dwindling. Places that serve alcohol and a minimum of food, someplace to meet your friends and unwind, or to hang out alone but not, nursing your depression. There were lots in NYC when I was growing up but not so much now. However, the institution lives on in Chicago.

This is Swig, someplace in the Wicker Park neighborhood my son took me to before dinner. There was a TV with closed captions, best thing to look at in the establishment.
