Oh, the Joys of Being Black in Chicago

Yesterday I went to The Paper Source at 919 W. Armitage for workshop.  I got there at 10:15; workshop started at 11:00. First of all, can I just say that I was there from 10:15 until 1:30, and I was the only black person in the entire store.  Period.  If any came in and snuck [...]
