Yes -- I am not making this up!
There is free booze in Wrigleyville and in Roscoe Village.
How do I know this?
Well, I was riding my premium $700 mtn. bike thru the back alleys of those areas on 5/31 ---
the day before leases come due and all the yuppie types move either up or out.
So they throw everything out.
Realistically, if you had a flatbed pick-up truck, you could furnish an entire apartment with the things they discard.
I'm talking about leather couches, futons, lamps, plants, tables -- you name it!
But I was just looking for booze.
And I found it.
One yuppie woman threw out her husband's golf clubs (which an illegal alien Mexican metal scavenger quickly scarfed up) and her entire refrigerator -- which included a whole bottle of cheap California champagne and half a bottle of Jagermeister.
I was happy to let the illegal alien Mexican scavenger run off with the golf clubs -- having given up the horrifying game some years past -- but was more than happy to make off with the Champagne and the German liquoer.
It was delightful.
Then I found some yuppies moving out who were dispensing with two pairs -- of virtually new--
GAP khakis -- in my size!!!! And another goofus yuppie girl who was dispensing two pairs of virtually new Levi Strauss jeans --- in my size!!!!! She also threw out some of her poetry which I read and made me love her and made me fear for her future.
And then in Roscoe Village I found a brand new Dupont sleeping bag. And with it was a 5 liter unopened box of Almedan wine. And down the block was a 12 pack of dusty Leinenkugel Honey-Weiss beer.
I transported them back and had a rather happy day.
Chicago is a silly town -- but it can be rather amusing, at times.
It is -- after all -- a big city.
