Has anybody googlemapped Wrigley Field lately?

See if this works for you...

Go to

http://maps.google.com

and then paste in

1060 w addison, Chicago, IL 60613, USA

and click on MAPS

and then click on the STREET VIEW option

I got a virtual tour of the neighborhood after a day game. When you get around to the bleachers, it's early morning.

I don't know how long this has been up but I thought it was cool.

Then for a laugh, enter

1058 W Addison St‎ and try to see the main gate.

I hope it works for all you BCB members.

Sheffield-free

Interestingly, it jumps right over sheffield, going from the corner of waveland to addison, with nothing in between.

And there are a hell of a lot of beer trucks in that neighborhood. Wonder why?

Saw this at the other BCB

You'll have to cut and paste it. It is a google street view of Lou entering his vehicle. At least its a Chevy.

Very cool

Looks like he's coming out of Bar Louie. There's bunting on the wall of the building across the street and a W flag. Hilarious.

For those curious,

it does look like he's driving a Chevy, as he says in the ads

Well, of course he is.

They're probably giving him a free car to use while he's here.

Google's view of Wrigley

Wrigley Field is described as hallowed baseball ground to millions of visitors. The marqee above the main entrance is photographed with reverence by Cub fans.

Here is the snapshot Google took of the scene...

There are those who dedicate themselves to a sense of honor, a life of courage, and a commitment to something greater than themselves. The Few. The Proud.
