My office is located in an old factory building just south of the North and Clybourn area. It is an area where wealth and poverty; the well to do and the criminal come together in a rather abrupt manner. Crossing Weed Street on the way in to work this morning, I came across an item that perfectly illustrates the forces at play in the area. Lying on the ground next to a recently rummaged through trash can was a Crate and Barrell invoice with blood all over it. How I wish I had my camera.
