ReplyDeleteThat is too funny. Hopefully he'll roll that way all the way to jail.
Crazy Shiller Voters just out trying have a lil old time Uptown fun. Ah the days when the police whould just turn the other way. Shiller you are losing control of your voters rights.
ReplyDeleteMight have been a crazy post college overgrown fratboy given the block mentioned. Probably too drunk to vote. The "roll" comment sounds about right for that kind of stupidity.
ReplyDeleteThe buildings on that block of Sheridan are largely condos and the apartments there are mostly filled with college and post college types.
Yeah, I always call that stretch "frat row". There are alwasy a lot of college banners hanging from the buildings there for some reason.
ReplyDeleteThe "Derrig" buildings on the east side of the street just north of the health center appeal to the post college crowd. Four bedrooms, 3 baths, stumble to bar, split the rent and take the EL.
