"everything in...'

Found at Milwaukee/Halsted/Grand intersection, which gets allot of play by a certain type of wise guy Zen philosopher artists. Some says it's the proximity to Richards Bar.

On Milwaukee just north of Grand, south side.

I like the red.

Dead Man's Corner

In June a fellow hiker spotted a body floating in the Chicago River near the Division Street bridge [at Ogden St.] in 'Dead Man's Corner.'

Police at the scene explained the river currents were such that floating objects weighing two-hundred pounds or so always find their way into this corner of the bridge's base.

Every summer, what a cynical officer referred to as the 'drowning season,' one or two bodies wash into Dead Man's Corner.

A special plea: when crossing the river always check for floaters.

Mad Preacher Fights Satan

This image and its three or four variations are old news. They began appearing last spring.

And yet...they are worth noting for several reasons: the illiterate rantings of a biblical madman, the spooky faces of 'missing' young women, and the sheer number that went up over the course of a few weeks. Multiple repetitions on Lamp poles, bridge abutments, abandoned storefronts.

They seem to gain power as they slowly disintegrate.

The boys behind this 'appropriated-outsider-art' were hopped up mightily. May the outraged Lord have mercy on their souls. Double click the image and read the 'message.'
