I guess this is the perfect place for underage drinking, since one only needs an ID to drink if you are 21 or older.

Thanks to a reader from Chicago for spotting and sharing this guest post! If you spot something quirky, be sure to share it here.

Thank you Mr. Graffiti Artist for making walking lanes for those folks cruising down the street so engrossed in their texting or phone conversations that they cannot look up to see where they are going!

Please pick up long skirts before stepping onto the escalator. Thank you!

Suppose this sign ought to specify that you should be picking up only your own long skirt before stepping onto the escalator. Surprised I didn’t see a cadre of creeps hovering around the escalator here, waiting to strike.
