Well shit I am totally wrong. Using the best of my dead reckoning, which is pretty poor, I somehow had the towers to the left of the Deagan tower by the Hancock. I figured State is only two blocks west of Michigan and considering the great distance away (not all that great in retrospect) of The Ravenswood Senior Living Building the towers must be right next to them. Dead wrong clear on the other side. And you know I thought I saw the R R Donnelly building all done up in white to the right of the Deagan but I dismissed the thought because I was so sure of my dead reckoning which has served me so poorly all these years, though I seem to forget this a lot, and as a result I am often lost.
The Ravenswood Senior Living Building though, it just does not have a ring. The RSLB, not much of a ring either. What does Old Dog call it when he goes down to the Walgreens to buy gum and happens to strike up a conversation with the flirty young clerk and she asks him where does he hang his hat?
Fun with the time lapse too. I remember those videos of his subjects when Old Dog was The Lord of the Asian roaches.
I happened to see the Italian Job, not normally a fan of heist movies, except for that one where Ed Norton plays the mentally challenged guy, and that one only because of Ed Norton, but the critics rated it highly. The thing was, if memory serves me well, what they were heisting was gold, which is a lot more valuable than Christmas trees, and speaking of which I remember seeing some getaway vehicle bouncing away and thinking gold is awfully heavy, those guys must have had enough sense to fortify their shocks so it wouldn't show, but then it turned out that they hadn't, so I don't know, if those crooks didn't know any better than a guy who can't even place his condo on the correct side of the Deagan Building, how smart can they be?
