Bum with Cart

In the River North area of Chicago we get a lot of interesting individuals, because of all the tourists and attractions in the area. We also get a lot of bums. I was sitting out on my deck recently and heard what was instantly recognizable as the clatter of a shopping cart. I was surprised to hear that because most of the carts nowadays have their wheels disabled when you take them off the premises to halt bum thefts but apparently this one wasn't equipped and it was... taken by a bum.



The movie is funny because he is like a little kid when I used to get a cart, you'd jack up the back and do a wheelie. He does one to get up the curb and then he almost runs smack into the Anti-Cruelty Society building - I'd assume that he is jacked up on something, himself, because rollin' with a stolen shopping cart is likely to get him pulled over and questioned by the cops in about 30 seconds flat.



I was wondering what he was even using the cart for until I took a camera shot of him as he harangued some probably well meaning animal lovers in front of the building and you could see he had a clamshell which probably had his meal in it. So he was eating on the go...
