Look at how pretty it is! No need to think about fireballs and piles of corpses!
Exactly. When it was dark and smelled of dumpsters and urine those things seemed much more plausible.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
they like medicine because it is sweet and associated with comfort.
It does seems like They have made medicine too good-tasting for kids -- I remember cold medicine as being like torture, and I swallowed the children's aspirins whole because I hated the taste of those, too.

I personally loved the taste of baby aspirin, and dimetapp. The rest though was pretty much torture.

I didn't know about the theater fire, so I'll be thinking of it anyway, now. I need to buy some books on Chicago history.
Okay. I'm off to Bed Bath & Beyond.

I walk by it every day, and now it's going to be CREEPY. THANKS A BUNCH.
Don't forget to keep an eye out for young women walking by themselves if you drive down Archer Avenue one night. Resurrection Mary probably won't ask you for a ride (she usually sticks with men), but you never know...

You don't even give children aspirin anymore. I find that odd. Is Reyes Syndrome really that common?

This is a good one on the various fires that have left a mark on the city, from the Great Fire to the Iroquois Theatre and Our Lady of the Angels school (To Sleep with the Angels is the definitive book on that subject, and makes a convincing case that it was started by a young student who was an incipient arsonist).
