I live in one of these tall buildings in the background, this beach - the Hollywood Beach - is my backyard. The bulldozer in this sketch is now gone. I can't tell you what happened to it. A mystery of a big city...

How to lose a bulldozer
Apparently it is not difficult! It seems that Chicago loses one or two every year. After spring cleaning of Lake Michigan beaches there is a bulldozer like this, boarded up and left behind, practically on every beach. They sit around looking sad for a week or several, and then mysteriously disappear. Perhaps - off to another project, or according to city rumors - get stolen for parts...

Great sketch!! It is hard to believe something like this could be stolen but in this day and age I guess nothing is beyond the realm of possibility. Great to see this piece of equipment in contrast to the beach & high-rise buildings.
ReplyDeleteI was kidding about being stolen for parts, Don :). But we don't really know... If you have a bulldozer you want to get rid of, get it to Chicago, we'll put it on my beach and conduct an experiment, lol. Thanks for the comment!
DeleteLOVE the sketch, Alex...and yes, there are always lots of mysteries, aren't there!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kate! Mysteries, yes, especially in the ways Chicago operates, lol!
