I’ve noticed this dirt-cheap hot dog offer in the past (which may or may not be related to the hot dog cart guy that hangs out in front of the Independent), but now they’ve got a table and chairs out in front of the convenience store at the 76 Station. Because if there’s one thing [...]
This dude infront of the Bean Bag Cafe had a knife and threatened to kill a number of crust-punk kids sitting outside. I don’t know why. I don’t even care. I just think that the guy has seen ‘Death Wish’ one too many times because God knows we all have opinions about gentrification in [...]
Just needed an excuse to use that “Gavin’s Hair” tag again. Move along…

Because we’d hate to see the whole internet become one big blog about tagging, here’s a guy hard at work removing some 19-year old’s scribblings from the window of Five Star Truffles on Divis.
Now, here would be a good place to go on a rant about how making a bunch of loopy, indecipherable letters on [...]
Mike Giant posted some photos from his art opening/friend’s brithday party at Bender’s last week, which I know isn’t technically in the neighborhood, but Giant was our neighbor for the lognest time, so I’m contractually obligated to post photos from any of his events. It’s not so bad when they’re gems like the one of [...]
It’s all spring-y outside and the best part of Divis (between McAllister and Fell, duh) is looking pretty sharp. Ignore the fact that I was obviously crouching in the median, trampling the greenery while taking this photo. At least I can definitively say that there’s no dogshit there.
Local photoblog The Streets are Calling just posted this gem that may or may not be from 2008 and it’s causing so many conflicting emotions in my cold, post-American Apparel heart. On the one hand, she’s seems like the kind of person who not only will go with you to that show you wanted to [...]
In case you hadn’t noticed, DPW has been finally putting in those fresh trees in the new planters and median on Divis for the past week or so. We’re basically one solid Spring blossoming away from Divis becoming like North Vietnam.
I’ve never even heard of this movie, but I can get behind any ad campaign that insists we “say no to assholes!”

jie: please do not use violent language if you are accusing someone of doing just that. The term you used to refer to this girl (whom I am not defending) is one that is loaded and, akin to swastikas, a symbol of intolerance and hatred. As a Jewish woman, I find both incredibly offensive and hurtful. Yes: my family was killed the Holocaust, and I have women in my family who were killed because of their genders (as women). So please, think a bit more before you speak. Thanks. - please...
