I hope Emmanuel knows just what he's gotten Chicago into by allowing this. I'm staying as far away as possible.

Here's a story covering that one. I lived a few blocks away back then. A friend of mine owned one of the places mentioned in the "rented lawn space from residents in unincorporated areas" comment. Good times.

The summer the Deadheads came Truckin' into town - Daily Southtown

Chicago was the last place Jerry Garcia played with the GD.
