holy sh*t!! according to the sun-times...
A car crashed into a busy Loop Starbucks on State Street this morning, smashing a plate glass window but missing customers inside as well as pedestrians on the usually bustling sidewalk.
...
Josh Korby, a bike messenger, was inside the coffee shop when the Grand Am rammed the window.
“I heard a large crash and the wall starting shaking,” Korby said, while still sipping his coffee. “There was a lady standing by the revolving door and she jumped back.”
When Korby exited he realized his bike was a casualty.
“I thought, wait a minute, there’s a car on the sidewalk where my bike used to be,” he said.
His bike was mangled.
damn korby...im glad no one was seriously injured. hope you bounce back from this. i know it's silly but people get attached to their bikes and losing the bike can...well...suck. even more so for a messenger...it's what makes them money. for the entire story click here...peace.
