Dump your furniture
We first saw billboards saying “Chicago is going to get dumped” several months ago.I thought this was a reference to the city’s two major league baseball teams. They had combined to lose 195 games, eclipsing a record set in 1948. Certainly the billboard was not referring to a furniture store. Who would name a retail outlet The Dump?To see a dump when I was young, we had to travel to my aunt and uncle’s cabin in the far north woods of Wisconsin. A trip to the dump, necessary since there was no garbage collection, was a highlight for me at 14 or 15 years old.
