Who says everyone loves the Rockies in Cole?

Kudos to a resident of Cole for passing this photo along. Apparently there are some Chicago gang member transplants out here in Cole, reminiscing about their home in the Windy City.

I'd provide her credit for it but I tend to get in trouble for mentioning names/handles/initials so I'll wait for her to let me know if she wants props for it. This is of course the vacant lot at Bruce Randolph and Humboldt (where a mixed-income housing development is supposed to be going in). These dumpsters, with their eastward-facing exposure along BR are prime real estate for the taggers. Hmm.... with that in mind someone should put a billboard there. Perhaps advertising birth control, GED programs, or perhaps one of the bail bondsmen on Downing? Heck, who am I kidding. At this point NPR, Starbucks, Heineken, Kendall Jackson Winery, and Golf TV should be advertising in Cole.

Gotta give these thugs some props for at least putting a little artistic effort in. Wonder if they're Juan Uribe fans, or perhaps Mark Buehrle? Go Sox!
