MY DAD'S OLD POLICE TRENCHCOAT AND MY FLOYDS KNOBS SLICKER

This came up when a friend and I were discussing Steve Carella, the main character in Ed McBain's 87th Precinct series. I sent him these photos and told him that is how you would see most cops when they are wearing suits out in the rain or at funerals, none of this all black crap you see on TV and in films.
Our weirdo store HOBO closed, and they had all sorts of oddities on the cheap. I bought the rain slicker as much for the low price as for it saying Floyds Knobs IN on it, which is indeed a real town. Near French Lick, which is an entirely different story.

CONTINUING ONWARD WITH STEPHEN CARELLA

It all evolved into messages between Meyer Meyer and Steve Carella, detectives at the 87th Precinct in Ed McBain's series of novels. So I'll keep going with the pages of messages. I haven't been to the abandoned school in several months, so during a trip up north last week, I took the page I had intended to use in February (doctor appt cancelled, boring story) and took it on a trip, with it eventually landing somewhere on the Dan Ryan Expressway off the 87th Street elevated stop.
