 Jes,


 Wow ! The chicagoreader is still around ??


 My friend was the night shift supervisor of that place back in the day.


 It was then located about two buildings down on the south east corner of Addison & Ashland, on Ashland.


 When those printing presses are running full speed the floor shakes.


 I went in there one night to hang out with him and after awhile I was so sick,


 I went upstairs to the bathroom and had serious flu like symptoms.


 Dizzy ... weak ... diarrhea ... my head leaning on the toilet stall unable to move.


 I finally got it together and went out on the street and sat down on the curb.


 Feeling instantly better with polluted Chicago fresh air.


 My bro came out and asked me was I ok and I said yes I am now.


 So we went back inside and then I smelled it ... the printing ink and chemicals made me sick !


 I told him I'm not going back inside.


 BTW ... you have a unique reconstruction of history until it suits your viewpoint.


 You're either pregnant or you're not ... or you've been invaded or you're not.


 There is no in between.
