    On the way home from a nice, long walk to the Logan Square Farmer's Market, my fiancée and I stopped for a cold one in the beautiful beer garden at Chief O'Neil's. Enjoying my perfectly poured tap Boddington's, I felt a big thump on my noggin. It was too soon for the alcohol to be having such an effect, so I looked around in a slightly dazed state to see what happened. Turns out we were sitting right under a huge pear tree with lots of beautiful, ripe or almost-ripe fruit. Don't know whether or not this is encouraged by the establishment, but I picked a few and threw them into my canvas shopping bag. I figure it's better than contacting a lawyer to seek damages for the head injury.

    Kenny-

    Perhaps this is best posted on the "foraging" board? :)

    Great story, though.

    Maybe you're right, aschie. Let me add, then, that the fish and chips on the brunch buffet looked especially hot and crispy :)

    Kenny,

    Seems you've (re)discovered gravity. :)

    Enjoy,

    I don't kinow what Chicago's laws are; in LA, any tree branches that overhang public thoroughfare including sidewalks is fair game. Here's a website called Fallen Fruit.

    So now this thread is valid for Outside Chicagoland or Foraging.
