With 6.5 billon people, it is hard to go somewhere without almost everyone else coming along. All types of recording media allow all of those who went elsewhere to come along a little later. And don't worry, if you are not here yet, all this stuff will be stored until you remember to find it.
Everyone goes to O'hearn's Beer Gardens in Chicago. Built during the Depression in a "catch as catch can" manner, the final layout resembled a shanty town. Musical groups were "heard" rather than "seen." The sprawling 1 1/2 acre complex burned to the ground in a fashion similar to the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.
The local arson squad spent two months onsite investigating; finding 7 different fire origins and 6 incendiary devices and/or accelerants. One determined guy? Mob Arson? A broken-hearted community mourned.
31 different suspects were questioned, 10 people confessed, 4 were arrested, but no trials were ever held. Conspiracy theories abound, but none were ever proved. How so many people came to the same corrupt idea on the same night has been the subject of several popular books.
The O'Hearn family rebuilt the Gardens around a central revolving stage. Every table or bench has a great view. In the building's corners are kitchens with immense beer dispensing stations. The beer and brats flow freely. A sign over each of the three entrances is one of Bogus Slogan's favorites:
