Jailhouse a rockin
My office here in the Loop is at an interesting location - kitty corner from the Metropolitan Correctional Center, a rather large jail that hold people awaiting trial in Federal Court. That black slit at the top is "the yard," where inmates are allowed to get fresh air a few times a week.
Now, across the street from the jail, and next to my building, is a parking garage whose top floor is about 40 feet below my window. Yesterday, when I was minding my own business, I began to hear hooting and hollering outside. There, on top of the garage, was a woman holding a bouquet of flowers, and the inmates up in the yard were shouting at her. She stood there for a few minutes, blowing kisses, and then walked away. I wonder if the target of her affection was there to see it?
