Sleep Tight
March 26, 2007 |
Oh look, someone must be moving. Look at those nasty mattresses. Boy they sure look ratty. I'm glad I don't have to sleep on those.
Here's the problem... you might be.... tonight.
This man who owns this van isn't moving his own possessions. He's an alley picker. Everyday he drives up and down the alleys of Chicago looking for things he can sell.
He sells old mattresses? Yep.
Across Chicago there are stores that will buy these alley rejects and fix them up into "new" mattresses.
The bed you're sleeping on tonight might have once sat on top of his van.
With all the problems Chicago has been having with bed bugs... you think someone would put a stop to this.

*Update*
Mystery solved! Laurie discovered the artists name - Gabriel Parente - Thank you!
So, I find this fancy schmancy bronze at the flea market.
One problem.
I cannot make out the signature for the life of me.
A twenty dollar gift certificate
To the first person who can correctly figure out the artists name.
