In an effort to add some discipline to my easily distracted mind, I am creating this blog to practice writing and photography on a somewhat regular basis. The title comes from a story about my Irish Grandfather. When I was a baby anytime my mother would ask him if he wanted to hold me, he would say "Does he still shit in his pants?" It sounds like something I would say about a baby and it makes me laugh every time I think about it. BTW, YOU CAN CLICK ON ANY PICTURE TO SEE IT FULL SIZE.

November 9 KiddieLand
Earlier this year I wrote about passing by the now defunct Santa's Village and feeling a bit sad about a bygone era. So when I stopped at the light at First Ave & North Ave in Melrose Park, I took a couple of pictures of the KiddieLand sign to show that some old time amusement parks still survive. I really wanted to write a feel good blog about KiddieLand. I googled Kiddieland and found their website. Unfortunately, KiddieLand closed forever on October 4, 2009. Once again, my attempt at a feel good piece is flushed down the drain. As far as I know, there are no longer any old time amusement parks in the Chicagoland area.
