Vincent Gogh
Bing Bong

Vincent Gogh
but also good that people can listen
Vincent Gogh
but all the shops on State Street are also boarded up
mamakura
My goodness. That's crazy.

𝓛unacuno

𝓛unacuno

Vincent Gogh

Vincent Gogh
two, maybe three
𝓛unacuno
I'm in CA and my grocery store has a pharmacy. They're open, thank fuck. I ran out of diazepam
Vincent Gogh
no other grocery stores though or pharmancy
𝓛unacuno
I hope this is the case elsewhere
𝓛unacuno
shit
Vincent Gogh
its downtown - you take out your food
𝓛unacuno
delivery?
Vincent Gogh
or that
Vincent Gogh
but typically its built for on the go food
Vincent Gogh
also Walmart didnt want to pay the city taxes; XD
𝓛unacuno
Applebee's says it's cutting off delivery fees, so hopefully that means people can get take-out if they need it
Vincent Gogh
I dont know if we have an Applebees downtown
Vincent Gogh
I know we have Harry Carreys
Vincent Gogh
and a lot of Italion and sandwich places
𝓛unacuno
I don't know what that is, but if they deliver, that's cool
Vincent Gogh
yes and its a steakhouse resturant named after a famous Cubs radio announcer
𝓛unacuno
My grocery store has every cashier wearing latex gloves now, so they are taking things seriously
𝓛unacuno
OH, HARRY CARREY
Vincent Gogh
^^
Vincent Gogh
HOLY COW
𝓛unacuno
didn't know he had (joking here) a restaurant
Vincent Gogh
yup! His family opened one shortly after he passed
Vincent Gogh
though it is also a bar - so it may not be open
Vincent Gogh
yes, all bars are closed
Vincent Gogh
Its Prohibation again in the City of Chicago
𝓛unacuno
I think everything is delivery now. Maybe drive-thru also, I dunno. But everything indoors is definitely closed
𝓛unacuno
Gotta go to the bathroom when you're driving? Tough fuck, go home and pee there.
Vincent Gogh
><
𝓛unacuno
But I am craving stake so. God. Damn. Bad. I'm ready to throw money at whoever can deliver some
𝓛unacuno
also craving personal contact, but you know
Vincent Gogh
huuuuuugs
𝓛unacuno
*steak
Vincent Gogh
they closed the bowling alley because they have a bar :/
Vincent Gogh
hopefully people dont try to make gin in their bathtubs - again
𝓛unacuno
"again"??
Vincent Gogh
they did in the 1930s during prohibition
Vincent Gogh
^ completely serious, people made gin for themselves and to sell
𝓛unacuno
the fuuuuuuuuuuuuu
𝓛unacuno
I believe you, just damn, didn't know they did that
Vincent Gogh
not really some of it turned out to be bad mixing
Vincent Gogh
Have you seen The Simpsons prohibition epsiode?
Vincent Gogh
Thats not far from the truth
𝓛unacuno
I have not. I just read Lackadaisy
Vincent Gogh
If you have Disney Plus its called -
Vincent Gogh
Homer vs. the Eighteenth Amendment
Vincent Gogh
its rather accuate of NY, Chicago in the 1930s with prohibition
Vincent Gogh
the only real big difference is the lack of povery
𝓛unacuno
I have no Disney+. 
.......... but I have WatchSeries
.......... but I have WatchSeries
Vincent Gogh
and black marketed the homemade gin to speakeasy and such
Vincent Gogh
to Al Capone was a big dealer in illegal brooze
Vincent Gogh
Its also on Amazon for $2 for one epsiode
Vincent Gogh
but they have the Speak Easy in the epsiode and the store thats a front for the Speak Easy
Vincent Gogh
Its rather accurate in some ways
Vincent Gogh
and Homer ends up making his own brooze in a bathtub in their basement
Vincent Gogh
with whatever he can find to make gin
Vincent Gogh
there's reports of deaths from badly made gin is how we know
Vincent Gogh
OMG
Vincent Gogh
This is creepy
Vincent Gogh
I forgot it was because of St Patricks Day that started prohibition in the Simpsons episode
Vincent Gogh
Dun dun dun
Vincent Gogh
The Simpsons predicated another thing
Vincent Gogh
It was because of St Patricks Day celebrating weekend with combo of Convid virus
Vincent Gogh
that closed the bars
Vincent Gogh
𝓛unacuno

Vincent Gogh
