south of the loop

And On Our Right Are The Crack Dealers…

I live just south of the Midway Plaisance (which was the midway for the 1893 World’s Fair), just south of the law school, near nowhere in particular. The 59 bus route goes down my street, but otherwise, it’s not very busy.

But last Thursday night, I got home around 11pm. And as I was walking toward my apartment building on 61st Street, I was passed by … a bright red double-decker tour bus. Filled–not to the max, but filled nonetheless–with passengers. I’ve seen some of these buses downtown, but certainly not anywhere near the South Side. Certainly not at 11pm. And certainly not driving west down 61st Street, headed straight for Cottage Grove.

How do you think the bus driver explained that wrong turn?
