Bookstore Bob Mystery
Been getting some weird comments in the comments section asking me where Bookstore Bob is. Then the guy says he's located in some unspecified place deep in "Chicagoland", as the car salesmen put it. Chi town, eh? Ah, that brings me back. I almost lived in Chicago permanently for a while a few years back. About this time of year would be killing season down at the stockyards, the plaintive mooing sounds mingling with the roar and rattle of the el. Vienna hotdogs. Just about now would be thrusting season out in Naperville. Heh. Some memories there. 
What a time of year this is in the greater Chicagoland area. The skyscrapers all turn green at exactly the same time, because their roots, you know, are all connected under the surface. The very barges on the lake begin to diverge - I've seen it with my own eyes. Bull fights on the copter pad of the Sears Tower. Yeah, I know the town. But I don't know where Bookstore Bob is. Last I heard he was moving to Boston. Ah, Boston. There's a town... But that's for another day.
