Pic(s) of the Week features Morse Aveune


When you own the ship, you can publish whatever the hell you want. This week I took over the "Pic of the Week" duties for Gay Chicago, with the photos of the Mayne Stage Marquee during Sunday's mini-snowstorm. 


Speaking of the Mayne Stage, I'm getting word Jefferson Starship will be performing in March of 2011. The last time I saw them in Rogers Park, we had a full out riot that night.

It's not often you'll see the word "Gay" so prominently displayed on Morse Avenue. Maybe this could be the cure for our Morse Avenue depression?

Let the GLBT community take over.

Don't know where else to say this. We just called the cops. There is a guy banging on doors. It's 12:30, Friday night. He's trying to talk his way into places.

Whoops, should have said this in the apartments one down from Common Cup on Greenview.

Pretty Dark on Morse of Late,
maybe I didnt notice it before, but I guess it got cold before the final phase of the Morse Streetscape got finished.....

THE LIGHTS!!

Way too dark there on Morse tonight. I went to the Historical Society on Morse, very cool.
Got a train book.

Sight of the week on Morse Avenue.
.
Monday, 07:30 AM
Temperature: 18 degrees
Place: Morse Ave
.
Three very large (250 to 300 lbs) Cabrini Green princesses meandering aimlessly westbound on south side of Morse across the street from Mayne Stage sipping their Miller High Life beers. Stop in the laundromat to sit a spell and allow one of them to use the toilet. Dainty ladies then stroll toward Morse and Wayne, flag down a brotha, mooch coins, then saunter over to bus stop and mooch cigarettes from bus driver pausing on route. Talking on cell phones, the return to laundromat, standing outside while finishing cigarettes, the enter and sit again while second lady uses toilet. Still sipping their beers, they move to the middle of the parking lot, gab for a while, then shuffle/waddle off south on Wayne.
Cans of beer in plain sight and no cares in the world, they were everything Rogers Park has become.
The people in the laundromat watched all of this with what looked like amazement and disbelief.
Made me proud to live here.

By the way, Craig. Does your little magazine have a distribution box in this neighborhood?

You're "getting word" about Jefferson Starship? You mean you read it on the calendar on the Mayne Stage website? Wow, what a journalist you are.
