Like a Drifter I was Born to Walk...

Jersey Boy and I went to "Retro on Roscoe" last night. Roscoe Village is a neighborhood surrpounding a section of Roscoe Street with shops and restaurants (including a liquor store named LUSH, love that) west of Wrigley Field. "Retro on Roscoe," an annual event, was packed with revelers of all ages. Street vendors sold jewelry, art work, clothing, food and drink, while bands played hits from the 80's on 3 separate stages. Our favorite was the Hairbanger's Ball, whose members sported coifs supporting their moniker and performed excellent covers ranging from Whitesnake to Joan Jett. (Check out their website if you are interested http://www.hairbangersball.com/) After enjoying the energy of the band and the crowd dancing and singing along to the 80's tunes for an hour or so we headed over to our latest discovery...Scooters for the best frozen custard in town. We topped off the night with a Grasshopper cement blend in for me and a Turtle Sundae for the Jersey Boy. Thank goodness we live in a third floor walk up, we save money on gym fees and still get to eat our way through Chicago, a win win situation if you ask me.
