Free Licks
By Joy Lynn Clark 02/17/2025 I first moved to Chicago’s Northside as a student in 1996. I spent a lot of time taking the bus and the train to learn my way around the city.

I got rid of a lot of non-essential items around my apartment. Everything looks nice and neat. I take a deep breath and pour a glass of champagne left over from the crate that I ordered last holiday. Next, I pour the bubbly into one of the crystal glasses that I had inherited from my stepmother’s passing. Well, I really am alone now. I need to make some plans. Since it was just a few…
