Alderman Hires Kids to Peddle City Stickers


The weather is perfect and the music is lively... do you need a city sticker by the way!? Why not buy it from the kids? Does the make and model of the car you drive determine the cost of your sticker when you pick it up from the Currency Exchange? According to the sticker vendors at the Clark Street Festival it does. I was asked if I had a Honda or Toyota, and the year. I told them what kind of car I had and they said that it would cost about $82.00. Then I asked why the make and model matters; I told them that had never affected the sticker price in the past. Then the kids said to me," I don't know, maybe it doesn't make a difference." Looks like they really didn't know what they were talking about. Were they scamming people or really just kids paid to hold up a red arrow?



This guy (below) seemed to be in control of the whole operation; he told two of the kids to leave with their signs when he saw my camera. I photographed him about forty minutes later doing push-ups for a circle of onlookers while saying," Yeah I can do it- I'll do it! (he does a set of twenty reps) See that- yeah." Like Anne Sullivan he also appeared to have been drinking quite a bit!

To Provide Greater Comfort and Safety



ONLY THEATER IN COUNTRY that ever took out seats instead of adding them is the Adelphi, 7074 N. Clark, which lowered its capacity from 1400 to 1000 in order to provide greater comfort and safety. An aisle now exists between each row of seats and they are 5 inches farther apart than is required by law. One of the oldest movie houses on the North Side, the Adelphi was founded in 98.
