The Billiken's Bluff

If today's fantabulous weather hasn't alerted you to the long-awaited arrival of spring, perhaps the soothing, melodious sounds of an angry schizophrenic with headphones shouting unintelligible insults at the top of lungs and laughing maniacally at passers-by will make you stop and say, ahhh spring.

Yes, its the triumphant return of Angry Black, the charming and loveable mascot of Union Square! He's been holed up in his apartment all winter listening to his headphones and the voices in his head, thinking up new insults to yell at the people who walk by him.
