I continue to document the barriers that people in Chicago construct in alleys to prevent cars from bashing into their garages and other buildings. Here is one that I noticed in Logan Square today. You can see many other examples here.

Happiness is a new record store just a couple blocks from home in the Logan Square neighborhood in Chicago. Bucket O’ Blood is off to a great start. Criminally cheap prices on used vinyl. I picked up a bunch of stuff for very little but this was the unexpected prize: a 1986 tour only 7” by the Italian ragers Indigesti.
