Starhead is my invisible friend

  If you didn't check out Dave Bloomfield the first time I posted about him, you're silly. He decorates my life with happiness. Thanks Starhead for the great pack of goodies!

We mourn the spindle

Berwyn Spindle

I saw the Spindle with my big sister when I was 14. It was 1989, the year the Spindle was put up. Her "cool" high school friends took me as some sort of mascot to Berwyn for fun. They took me to Parkey's for a double dog with handmade fries in a greesy bag and to see the Berwyn Moose.  I was as happy as could be. Years later I married and had my first place in Berwyn. I drove past the Spindle and the Garbage Sculpture regularly. Sadly, today I heard the Spindle had been torn down.  Such tragedy...for a Walgreens. Bummer. Thank you to Dustin Shuler for all the crazy art in Cermak Plaza. I loved it.
