You guys.
This one was hilariously a hot mess.
Not cause of how Bill planned it.
He did a great job, as usual.
It's just that Hegewisch is...difficult to love. And it was raining. And I dropped my brand new phone in a puddle. And we could NOT find anywhere to eat.
Lucky #13?
Participants: Bill, Kelly, Anne
Highlights: desperately looking for somewhere that serves coffee in the AM
-wishing we could tour the Ford plant
-trespassing at the Lock and Dam
-visiting what the internet promised to be a nature preserve, which appeared
never to have been...um...finished. Maybe never even started? Certainly
not open to the public. Balls.
-going to that grocery that publicized 'the BEST kabobs' and then realizing
that they meant 'raw/uncooked kabobs.' So instead we bought apples and
cheese sandwiches and took them to the saddest park ever.
-the prison toilets at the saddest park ever.
-the folks doin it in the weeds at the saddest park ever.
-what I kind-of remember being missiles in the saddest park ever?
-Bill debuts his 'hoods phone case
-that memorial to the fallen at a Union uprising. Had seen better days.
-that rad Serbian Orthodox church. Seriously, very cool.
-where Illinois touches Indiana.
-discovering that wild parrots live under I-90! That was REALLY cool,
actually!
-Alright, Calumet Fisheries was exceptional.
-the Blues Brothers Bridge!
-taking our fried fishies and eating them al fresco at the lakefront.
Ok, looking back, there WERE some pretty depressing parts of this 'hood. But also? Some pretty awesome parts.
I guess that's the point of 'Hoods!?!
