PRIDE AFTERMATH

The worst part about the parade is the way the neighborhood looks afterward. Oh, it’s awful. The only one who would enjoy it is Templeton. (Cue Paul Lynde’s best song ever. Then cue me singing it all day.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZau57XQAhU

It’s like a fleet of garbage trucks exploded all over Boystown. There is trash EVERYWHERE. It’s usually worse on Halsted, since that’s the official starting point and therefore the touristy spot. For a good idea of how bad it gets, take a gander at this little photographic gem I took a couple years ago.

I’m not sure what’s worse – the overflowing trash can or the drunken little gutter animal SITTING SHIRTLESS IN THE TRASH. I can’t. It was too much then and it’s almost too much now. I can’t wait.
