IS NOTHING SACRED? ST. NICK NOW A SECOND-STORY MAN?




(Ed.'s Note: In the "Who Can You Trust Now?" Department, someone sent us this photo that shows Santa Claus, apparently not being a good elf, alighting or trying to break into a window on a building at 716 12th Street.

Motorists and pedestrians seem oblivious to Santa clinging on to the window sill of the old Hotel Economico which was notorious for being an abode of ill repute and ended up being torched some time back.

For a long time, members the Immaculate conception Cathedral congregation complained to the city about the hotel being a focus of perdition and debauchery.

Could it be Santa hadn't heard about it closing? We thank our keen-eyed readers for sending us this photo. Someone, apparently, just wants to have fun.)

Must be an elected official looking for blood.

Isn't that Chief Jared Sheldon trying to get out of Ben Neece's bar? I guess Jared Sheldon was trying to deliver a little grease to grease up Ben Neece's dirty hands, so that he can stay just stay a little longer after all the hanky panky going on in the fire administration building between Sam Ortega and Sheldon's administrative assistant. It has been rumored that Sheldon has given Wilma a directive to stay late and help EMS Chief Sam Ortega with his short comings on how to handle the department.
