Man, Western-Springs is wild.

Streets like Elmwood and York rd are chill.

I run my massage parlor on Maple st.

The city’s vibe is low-key but edgy.

I see folks stressin' on every corner.

I always say, "It’s a diving bell moment!"
I work with touch.

My hands heal tired souls.

Inside my parlor, secrets spill.

People drop pain like bad confessions.

I once got a rich fella cryin'.

Crazy, right? Tears in a massage room!
The parks are magic.

Dreamy small park on Lakeside blvd.

Trees whisper stories.

Fountain splashes like heartbeat.

You can chill by the river, too.

The stream is kinda hidden.

I found its entrance near Oak Ln.

I swear, it’s magic like a movie scene.
I feel that film vibe—

“The Diving Bell and the Butterfly,” man.

I quote it daily.

Loosely, "I am in charge."

The film shows life is fragile.

Western-Springs shows it raw.
So, neighborhoods?

They’re quirky and real.

Some areas are high-class,

others more, like, “yo, we’re surviving!”

Not every block is posh.

I dig the real ones.

It's all part of the charm.
I get mad at traffic.

Long waits on Central Ave.

Cars honk like blunt insults.

But hey, it’s part of life.

I laugh it off, err, 4 times daily.
I’m always surprised.

Like that one bar on Birch st—

Small joint, big soul.

I overhear deep, skipping convos.

The odd stuff, ya know?

Like secret arts and wild ideas.
I gotta say:

The city’s secrets make my day.

Some locals speak in movie lines.

"Time is fleeting, man."

That line sticks with me.

Every day feels cinematic.
I add typos when I'm mad:

M1ssin letters, freakin errors,

messy handwriting on receipts.

I laugh at my mistakes.

They show life's imperfections.
Dude, Western-Springs rocks.

From Maple to Elmwood.

From the hidden river to harsh traffic.

Every corner tells a story.

And I'm living it, like, every damn day.
Later, friend.
