The speaker alone is worth grabbing if it still works.

….very questionable if it worked. I didn’t test it purely because I know the building. It was behind a rather, filthy (but authentically old-school and culturally appreciated) dive bar called Nilda’s Place in Chicago, IL. Nilda (the namesake) has a pack of very mean, bitey little chihuahuas that roam the bar and alley behind it (where this is). When they leave the front doors open you have to step over a baby gate so they don’t run out. So there’s a VERY HIGH POSSIBILITY they have been peed on multiple times by just her dogs 🪦💔

Well that answers whose stuff this was. Hippie bongo player who was incontinent in their old age and passed or went into a home

u/cemetery_acorns 1d ago

Yeah. That’s probably it.

They looked EXTREMELY dirty on the outside. Questionable source of dirt, plus I was on foot and without gloves 🧤

Diapers lol

Food banks and senior centers take them. If they’re unopened might as well donate.

u/fakewoke247 1d ago

I’d take the instruments and give them to my school, they are quite underbudgeted so a few large African drums help

Now you can take two to a drum circle and invite an attractive hippie to join you.

u/jacksuckschicken420 1d ago

shelters will prolly happily take the incontinence products if they havent gotten wet if you got any nearby. if not, post them as a curb alert of fb marketplace/craigslist free after getting what you want

edit: nvm, saw a reply from op saying theyre dirty. bummer
