LOST WALLET

This is not about my lost wallet. I found a wallet. I was out and about yesterday when I spotted a cute looking case that appeared to hold eyeglasses. My curiosity got the best of me and I reached down to see what was in the leather looking decorative case. It turned out to be a woman's wallet. I saw an Illinois drivers license and some folded up cash. I didn't count the money. I didn't investigate further. My first thought, was that perhaps if the owner was a victim of foul play, that I would be the first suspect in the case. Even after I picked it up and proceeded one mile to the police station, I imagined that some people that I passed by were looking at my suspiciously. I couldn't wait to get rid of this thing.  It's been a very long time since I have been inside a police station. My most 'recent' visit that I can remember, was back in 1978 or 1979 to pick up a housemate who had spent the night in the 'drunk tank' after offending some police officers who came to our off-campus house after a party had become a bit too raucous for the neighbors. 

I remember once losing my wallet in a park in Valley Stream, Long Island. This was long before the existence of cellphones. My memory is hazy about how it was returned, but I think someone came to my home to return it, after calling me at home. Whatever small amount of money I had was still there, and I remembered how surprised and grateful I was to get my wallet back less than a couple of hours after losing it. There should be some young woman in Chicago today, who's faith in humanity should have gone up at least a couple of notches.

There are two metal 'horses' in a small unnamed park on Sedgewick Street in Lincoln  Park, Illinois

GENERAL IRON INDUSTRIES

I have walked past this place many times. Until looking it up today on google, it had never dawned on me that this was a business that paid cash for scrap metal. It is located on Clifton Avenue one block from Clybourn Avenue in Lincoln Park, Chicago. This scrapyard has been in business in Chicago for over 100 years. Naturally, the Democratic Alderman now want it to vacate from its home in Chicago so the land can be developed for condos and/or retail. Is it just me, or does it always seem that Democrats are business unfriendly?

General Iron Industries of Chicago, IL is a family owned and operated Scrap Metal Recycling yard that buys copper, brass and aluminum, lite iron, stainless steel and more.

My seven mile walk in the morning was enjoyable, that must be why I took another in the late afternoon. I met my family in the middle of it for dinner and then carried on.
