Vacation Downtown

  The noise and the grime
    the mushrooming crime
  junkies and beggars abound

  Strange folks in your face
    steal your car, spray some mace
  Who wants to vacation downtown ...
  
  This year I'll cede culture
    to the buzzard and vulture
  as in soft meadows I lie

We often take the South Shore into Chicago when we come home. Not so sure about it anymore. John
