I used to steal empty pop bottles off back porches in Rogers Park, then return them to the National on Devon Avenue for the deposit. My ill-gotten 48 cents bought a green river pop, a pack of bbq potato chips, three gumballs, and two comic books at the little soda fountain/variety store (Meyer’s) where I was first a regular in anyplace. I regret nothing.

I’m sorry, Chicago Fan, you came in late. Only transgressions made by women with the initials ECB taking wine from QFCs are valid. Your pronouncements of youthful indiscretions are nothing more than wagon circling.
There, Cafepuppy, took care of that for you. Now puppy’s got no bone to chew. Awww… 🙁
Is this supposed to be an apology? I demand an apology! You stole. So be an adult and own up to it. Admit you were wrong and apologize to your readers.
Where’s Eli Sanders’? And Eric Grandy’s? (Don’t tell me HE never shoplifted anything!)
OMFG I CAN NEVER TAKE YOU SRSLY AGAIN
PS YOU HATE MEN
Was Devon full of south asian food back then?
I wish you were my big brother, Chicago.

Grandy stole the Atlas space from us all. Worth a wee bit more than a bottle of wine. Of course everyone got over it rather quicky.
I can’t believe you indulged in such a heinous crime. May the wrathful gods of petty justice bear down upon you with all their blogging might.
We used to call that recycling.
Especially when they had bees in them.
The names don’t mean anything to me but the whole pop bottles for candy thing was in a Polish neighborhood and this little grease ball used to get beat up.
When I was little, I used to steal girl dolls so that my GI Joe action figures would have girlfriends.
Of course, I know better now… GI Joe is gay.
you should apologize to your co-workers and everyone with whom you have ever worked in an even tangential way. don’t forget your students, you owe them!
Actually, I’m jealous. 48 cents bought you soda, chips, candy, and a comic book! Dude, that’s awesome! Man you’d have to steal VW full of pop bottles these days to score all that loot.
