Travelogue IV: Chicago, 7-11 May, 2006: Information Feeders

This is one of the amusing objects that I found in the cityscape in Chicago: magazine and newspaper feeders. These colorful plastic boxes always stand quitely one next to another on sidewalks ready to feed busy city passengers with loads of information. But it's not a charity work unfortunately, you have to pay their hardword for sure!

A variety of "useful" information is provided, including daily newspaper, gossip news and some "small aids" for the industry of human desire.

Usually there are 4 or 5 feeders in a group, but this "troupe" that was spotted in Oak Park, a suburban area of Chicago, is unbelievably and amusingly long. They are not pretty, but they are very loyal companions to the city life in Chicago (I am not sure if other US cities also have them).

They look somehow similar to still-standing teletubbies.
