The same as it’s never been…

I was born in Chicago, spent most of my growin’ up years here, and came back when I was 20 after a few years away. I know this place like I know the bottom of a pint of Harp – Yeah, that well.

So, 3am rolls around – it’s about 45 degrees and drizzling a bit. No better time to go rollerblade to the bank, right?

With my ipod set to shuffle through a few hundred random songs, I set off … And ended up somewhere I’ve never been before. Rolling down a street I’ve been down a thousand times. All those little things you loose track of in the day time — when the streets are full of cars, people and chaos — just came jumpin’ out.

I felt like a tourist in my own back yard.
