Creepy: Devon Avenue, Chicago

Yesterday I met friends at Viceroy of India Restaurant for lunch (2518 W Devon Ave, Chicago, IL). They do a buffet. The food, briefly, was average, nothing to write home about. Half of the steam table buffet items were room temperature but should have been hot. The other half was hot but not hot enough to be steaming, making one wish for a city health inspector to drop in just then. (By the way, what is the infatuation that Indian restaurants seem to have with aluminum foil?) (Click photos to see larger images.)

I hadn't been on Devon Avenue in some time. I remember why now. The pigeon crap. Crap everywhere! Dripping (literally) from the signs, piling up on the sidewalks. Dead pigeons hanging from the signs. You have to watch where you walk or you will be crapped on by a pigeon. Pigeons seem to be roosting on or inside of every sign. Pause to window shop and you may be crapped on. You may be crapped on as you are stepping inside of a business. Surely this is violation of health code? Can't Alderman Stone do something about this? Or does he like pigeon crap all over the place?
