Inflatable Pants, Suburban Decay

Over at a site for awful album covers, there is one featuring an artist named Heino (Since the title of the album, Liebe Mutter, is in German, I assume the fellow is German, or at least a star there, and perhaps elsewhere). For some reason, it struck me that Heino should not be limited to just a singing career, but also be featured in a series of childrens books, perhaps something along the lines of Curious George. This one is Heino and the Inflatable Pants


Saturday, I was up in Evanston for the Custer Fair. Got some shots of some fascinating Suburban Decay (ha - take that City Slickers!). This is I Dempster; I'd suppose there had once been a Metra stop there. There's something about crumbling stairways that seem particularly nightmarish. Perhaps Inflatable Pants could prove to be useful when encountering such an obstacle.

Across the street, another example of photogenic neglect.
A little later in the day, looking to the skies proved rewarding .
