The Breakdown Place: Western and Irving Park

Justin’s been back in Chicago for a bit, crashing over at our apartment. Tonight he borrowed Liz’s scooter, and we got a call saying that it broke down somewhere near Western and Irving Park.

At the time, Liz and I were at Target… so we hopped in the car, and found him at a nearby gas station.

Here’s Liz trying to (unsuccessfully) start up the scooter. We ended up chaining it to a nearby street sign, and decided to deal with it over the weekend.

I don’t know how many of you out there remember this, but I was here at this exact gas station, in this exact spot, alongside another broken down vehicle about 2 years ago. On the night of Chelsea’s Birthday in 2005, there were some troubles with Nuanda’s car.

So if you’re near the area, and your vehicle starts to feel strange… head over to the BP on the corner of Western and Irving Park. It’s a good place to break down, and to get a little help.
