Convention Buses
I gotta tell you I got a beef with Convention Buses. You know what I mean? Of course you do! We are not talking commuter buses here. We are talking about the behemoths that are 14 feet tall and 12 feet wide that park illegally with their engines running, pumping out exhaust without any regard to people that have to get out of their way. These are the ones that line up, one in front of the other and drive from hotel to hotel picking up and dropping off conventioners from McCormick Place. They bring traffic to a complete standstill, run cars off the road and make wide turns without regard to pedestrians. Total losers. Just last night we are getting into a cab and a big white one of thes suckers pulls up besides us with his right turn blinker on. We are between him and the curb and he starts to turn. The cabbie is honking his horm becase we are about 2 inches apart. Finally he sees us and straightens out a bit. The cab driver immediately pulls out a large, wide tipped Magic Marker and draws a wavy line all the way down the length of the bus as it pulls past us. We all felt better after that. And that's my Best Chicago Beef.
