DOWNTOWN — What do pigeons, mid-day drunks and long lines at chain coffee shops have in common?

They're all Downtown, and now they're on bingo boards.

Paul Dailing, a Chicago journalist and editor of the award-winning 1,001 Chicago Afternoons blog, has developed three bingo boards poking fun at common Downtown sights.

Dailing, who's also leading walking tours dedicated to Chicago's political corruption, said more bingo cards themed after other city neighborhoods may be on the way. 

"Like 'city workers on break at a bar' and 'Irish flag' in Beverly, or 'Mom with double-wide stroller on phone with Starbucks cup' in Lincoln Square,'" Dailing said. 

Forget Pokemon Go. This is real life.
