Just ask those hip young things gathered around the new outdoor fireplace, not a junkie or crackhead to be found among them. I wonder if the grounds are haunted.

That area is still a hotbed for shopping cart pushers. I see them walking down St. Elmo with their can collections headed for the recycling yard down the street. And yes, someone on a bicycle was killed near there. There's a ghost bike at the corner of St. Elmo and Congress.
The market is interesting to me. I'm eager/curious to check it out. That place is 5 minutes from me.
I wish they had kept more of the sign. I was always amused by the "color tv" part of it. Ooh la la.
