Just when you thought it was safe . . .

As soon as I think I've seen everything the "urban lifestyle" of South Chicago has to offer, I find a new delight. Allow me to start at the beginning:

With the increase in warm weather, there are a few ice cream trucks that circle the school, like sharks at feeding time, at 2:45 pm exactly. These trucks aren't your average popsicle and pre-packaged sundae cone trucks- they have delicious soft serve cones, sundaes and shakes - for a buck!

So anyway, one warm spring day, my colleague and I walked out to the truck to taste the delicious soft serve for ourselves, and I noticed that there was something odd about the truck's windshield . . . there were 4 bullet holes! I mean, I know the neighborhood is bad, but seriously, who wants to shoot up the ice cream man? Are people that hard up that they will kill for ice cream, or is the uniform and funny hat that offensive?

All I know is, if the ice cream truck isn't safe from a drive by, none of us are. None of us are.
