hirezActually not, but I liked the cut of that title, so...
... Just before the dawn of the internets (Gloucestershire version), the nearest I got to Chicago were Big Black sleevenotes and the Mid-West Auto Club show at Cheltenham racecourse.
This thing from the BBC reminds me of why I wanted to go visit the place. It's odd, but many of those views seem more familiar than what I remember of Cheltenham. Although it may well be that my rememberings of Cheltenham have been stripped of meaning since the buildings themselves have been demolished or repurposed, and it is actually hard to remember what used to be there when confronted by a new road or a different frontage. The activity of a city or town exists in a state of permanent now and actively repels any connection with the past.
Caudles the electrician, for example.
