I've seen many interesting characters during my stay here in Chicago- a function of riding public transit and walking around.
* The guy in front of us on the L had a buzz cut except for a small furry fringe along his collarline. We called it a micro-mullet.
* A guy we met under the scaffolding that was shielding us from the rain told us we should be glad he had ob/gyn experience in case she had her baby there.
* A hipster dad was pulling his little girl in a wagon covered with a canopy and she was lying enthroned with a crown, pink blanket and a bug net.
* Two ladies were dining at the Greek restaurant, one talked on her phone the entire time while her tablemate looked bored and finally announced, "we're going".
* A guy walking by said, "will you donate to the homeless?" to which I replied, "I do", so he muttered, "well, not to me".
* Two businessman and a casual guy standing in front of the Starbucks discussing his probation from jail.
Many, many more in my 6 days of Chicago.
