Скачать или смотреть Chicago's Logan Statue: From General to Hipster Neighborhood Namesake! 😏

Shrog and Bob wander the South Loop and spot an epic statue of a man on horseback. Shrog: "Who's this?" Bob explains: John Alexander Logan—19th-century Illinois state rep, US Congressman, Civil War Union general (major general rank), and the guy Memorial Day originated from (as Decoration Day). Oh, and Logan Square is named after him.
Shrog's Wolverine joke leads to the ironic kicker: He'd be thrilled his namesake neighborhood is now packed with rich millennial hipsters. As always, Shrog gets the unpleasant surprise for laughs!
