The Unpleasant Side of the City

Well, the seamy side of living in a big city reared its ugly head recently when our car was broken into while Mike was attending a hockey game with our friend Sergio. Nothing much was taken, but the thieves broke the small rear window on our car, causing us to be riding around with this garbage bag substitute. It's ugly, but the weather's warming up and other than the way it looks, we're not in any hurry to replace the window.

But it was an unpleasant reminder that life in Chicago isn't all wine and roses.
