Goethe
July 2, 2007
Goethe / gothe / n. 1. An elegant little street at 1300 north running from 754 west to 86 east. 2. The statue of a buff guy with a bird on his knee at the north end of Lincoln Park. 3. Some German poet. Pronunciation guide: "Gothe" or "Goetha" is preferred by true Chicagoans who work for a living. "Gerta" is used by pointy-headed Hyde Park show-offs.
