From the Would You Like A Light With That? department.

Chicago's Daily Southtown published an article on Thursday, pointing out the hottest consumer fad in this increasingly technological age... The drive-up window. Drive through banks, drive through pharmacies, and now... Drive through tobacco stores. The manager of Cigarette Outlet (located at 58th & Harlem, just in case you happen to be driving by while reading this and want to pick me up a pack of smokes... I'm just too busy to walk down the block to get one) pointed out the convenience of having a drive-through window and said, "What's the point of coming in?"

I have a better question. What's the point of driving to the store to get a pack of cigarettes in Chicago, when you have to walk no farther than 4 blocks from any particular point in the city to find a store that sells them?

Did we make fattest city in America yet? Where's the drive-through gym?
