Genesee

[goodintentions]

So I just got home from seeing Hairspray at the Genesee. The theater was not full. The play was awesome. I totally enjoyed the night. Until I drove thru McD's for a soft drink, and was greeted by a panhandler with a great story... I just moved here, I have MS, my wife is 8 months pregnant & I need to get the VA for my medication. I told him to call the police & they'd get him to the VA. But as I was in the drive thru I attempted to tell the manager working the window about the panhandler. He barely spoke English & after several attempts I just gave up. Then I attempted to speak to the traffic cop that was blocking traffic from going down Genesee. But all he'd tell me was to keep going and not stop. Big help officer, thank you.
You wonder why more people don't do downtown Waukegan? I can tell you why....
