I know @rickkogan.bsky.social can, like me, literally hear Dom Pacyga say "it's just a little FIE-RR! (there's still buttloads of money to be made)" in the now-fading CANARYVILLE way. I'm making my call, here, BOTY jamokes!🕺
You guys Windy City is actually a pretty good New York burn. We should embrace it! Right after the Great Fire, TRAINLOADS of Shelley "The Machine" Levene's made for the Big Apple HATS IN HAND...20 years later we smoked them for the World's Fair. "Oh sure, that Windy..." We get it. It's a good one.
