BURBANK COPS: TONIGHT'S EPISODE, USE 3 SQUADS TO STOP STEVE THE DRUNK NAM VET

Two Of Each, All On The Same Block; 50th Court & 87th Street

Friday Night Lights

The Reavis HS Rams playing some team from Chicago Ridge, I'm not up on these things. But my niece Grace plays the clarinet. They'll be downtown for the Columbus Day parade, in fact. But the cool part is that the flight path for most of the planes landing at Midway Airport pass right over the field, their landing light even with the goal posts.

The Clearing Trainyard in Chicago

Clearing being the neighborhood it ends, just north of Burbank in Bedford Park. At approx. 71st Street, there will be bridges on Cicero, Pulaski, and Kedzie that cross over this

massive set of tracks.

Pizza Puff, Grassano's. Burbank, Illinois. Earlier Tonight.

 EIGHT MINUTES OF PURE HEAVEN.

The Irony Not Lost

I took this photo in a hurry as the driver looked pretty hard ass, I was in the Walgreen's parking lot near my bus stop about a month after 9/11. Burbank is just east of Bridgeview, which has the highest population of Muslims in the US, and home to the first mosque built in this country, at 103rd and Harlem. Times were tense that autumn of 2001. But being hard ass also means you can't WRITE the damn language you expect others to SPEAK. And the guy can't weasel out of it by saying there wasn't enough room to spray paint a coherent sentence. Happy end of the 4th of July...Wayne
