Day in the Life: Downtown Chicago

By Scott Buckner
Tea Leoni performing police surveillance. Moon rocks and escalator guts. A witty bank and bitchin' street jazz. I should get downtown more often.

Cab #4856

Cab #6052

Ray St. Ray, the Singing Cab Driver, is in so many ways the unwitting father of Taxi Cab Journal. Now he's back, like a world-weary former lover. Only without the awkward sexual tension and emotional baggage.

Cab #1889

This cab is sloshing and whirring. It's a creepy cab. And the driver is a phantom.

Cab #580

Barista! The Coffee Goes Cold

By Maude Perkins
Sure, I made an awful lot of transactional enemies, but I had even more allied customers that went largely unmentioned in this column. Let's be honest, you readers didn't care about them. You only wanted to know about the dipshits and the douchebags.

Sci-Fi High

The Music Box Massacre had a baby, and it's a helluva glorious, geeky show.

Open Letter

Dear Paul McCartney, On The Occasion Of Your Latest Release:
Many artists have been saved from your fate, Paul, by meeting an untimely death. I hate to think what Jim Morrison might be up to these days, for instance, if he was still with us. Perhaps hosting Deal or No Deal.
