What Happened?



The Water Tower: The only building in the 'burn zone' to survive the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. It is now the only surviving structure left standing

The '35 World Series featured the Detroit Tigers and the Chicago Cubs with the Tigers winning in 6 games for their first championship in 5 series appearance

Chicago

New guy in town called Robin the Hood
To Chicago he went but was up to no good
He faced up to old ‘Scarface’
Worked him up to a rage
Then just disappeared, a grim lesson for the dude

Inspired by d'Verse with Claudia's prompt 'going urban' and fascination with Mad Kane's Humor Blog
