Once in a Lifetime

So...before I tell this story let me preface it by saying that Rogers Park (and most of Chicago) is going through a huge revitalization. They are just cleaning out huge neighborhoods, kicking out the trash, and building expensive apartments to house a better class of people and basically telling the lower class of people that they kicked out "Sorry...". And from what the native Chicago residents say, they are doing it swiftly. Our neighborhood is going through this right now. As I said before- when you walk towards the lake it just gets more beautiful and high class, and as you move towards the Howard train stop it just gets worse. Soo....I am just saying this because I don't Mom to get scared that I live in the ghetto. And another awesome thing about our neighborhood is that because it's going through this change right now there are cops EVERYWHERE at all times of day and night. So that always feels good. Anyway- I don't live in the ghetto. I promise. But I also don't walk around alone very often. So don't worry about that either. Anywho-

So, we saw the most hilarious thing ever the other night....and it was something that we probably won't ever see again in our lives....

We see prostitutes and drug dealers around the Howard stop occasionally, and the other night as we were walking home from the bar at about 3 a.m. we actually saw this:

Here's the scene- a pimp and a prostitute on the corner. We walk by and say hi. They tell us hi, and then as we get about 20 feet away he starts yelling "Bitch you need to give me my f**king money!"

I mean come on....you don't see that except in the movies. He was totally playing into the pimp stereotype. It was hilarious.
