Get out and Vote, You Slob

...especially if you live in the 35th ward. There is a referendum on the ballot to decide the fate of the Megamall at 2500 N Milwaukee. The question is, should the mall be acquired by the city, torn down, and turned into a park. As much as it's a little bit of a pie in the sky dream, I say tear that sucker down. If you live in the 35th ward (what's the chance of that), make sure you get out and vote on this one.

Anyway, Clare and I hit the first Friday art gallery openings this weekend. This is always a lot of fun. There's free wine, free snacks, and great people watching. Every gallery has it's own crowd. This one particular gallery had a lot of extravagantly dressed old women. This lead Clare to utter this nugget of wisdom: "If you need to walk with a cane, you're probably too old for a leather mini skirt." I'll let your imaginations run with that one.

We also took a bike ride on the Skokie Channel Trail. This is a great trail that is easily accessible to city residents. I highly recommend it.

Also, as a graduate and former employee of Richard J. Daley community college, I'd like to thank MSN for publishing this list of famous people who are graduates of community college.
