Two bizarre sightings in downtown Chicago today:

� Near Northwestern Station: A blind woman window shopping. She had her white-tipped cane in one hand and was shielding her eyes to peer at some clothing in the window of The Avenue with the other.

� Daley Plaza: A man had stopped and parked illegally on the curb next to the Columbus Day Italian market in order to better tie the life-sized fiberglass pony to the roof of his car.

� The policeman who was thinking about writing a ticket for the aforementioned pony-tier.

I miss the urban landscape.
