Young Children Exposed to Porn on Streets of Rogers Park

No, it's not a nude picture of aging hippy Katy Hogan. But she is displaying a large drawing of a woman, fully frontally nude, on the street in the window of the pseudo-counterculture hangout that she is a partner in, The No Exit Cafe. Located at 6970 N. Glenwood in Chicago, the crummy little storefront "theater" is along a stretch of sidewalk between Morse and Lunt where young children frequently walk on their way to and from school. (Click photos for larger images.)

If this crappy piece of "art" was displayed in a more private area there would be no problem. But to display it prominently in the front window is tantamount to plastering it on the CTA wall directly across the street, which is the site of the failed SSA#24 "Mile of Murals" project. Hogan, by the way, is one of the decision makers on the postponed Mile of Murals debacle. Let's hope Hogan doesn't push for full frontal nudity in the public murals that may - or may not - eventually be painted on the walls of Rogers Park. The No Exit Cafe can be reached at (773) 743-3355.
