I get my thrills on Lombard hill...

In the summer months, Matt and I skip TV and music and opt for the entertainment of Lombard. Daily, cars line up to drive up and over Lombard to take pictures and ruin their engines down the windy part of the hill. Living on the corner of Polk and Lombard, we're right at the bottom of the hill and enjoy the sites and sounds of tourists trying to make their way up and over - the screeching, honking, and smell of petrol that accompanies tourists looking exhausted and bewildered as they try to make their way up and over the hill. Tonight is an especially funny night as there are two Hummers trying to make their way up and over - the drivers of both look frightened while the passengers look "radder than rad." The funniest part? The drivers seem too scared to start and stop so instead are opting to drive up the hill at less than a mile per hour.
