That’s because they are also powering this now

the one by my office
has only the arches left – the red parts all blew out. Damn you, Santa Anas!
"We push bunt, we squeeze bunt, we hit and run, we steal home!" - Larry Cox on the 1989 NL East Champion Chicago Cubs
The Santa Anas
were OK at my place but only a mile from here it was bad. Really big old trees down all over the place.

We're singing
Go Cubs Go…
"Just shut up and play" - Matt Garza
"Pain is inevitable, suffering is an option." - Dale Sveum
shouldn't it be
“we’re signing”?

If all the Cubs got dressed up in their best suits, etc.
We could have the marquee say “Chic Cubs”

I think this is on purpose.
OT – I do envy all of you who still live in Chicago, especially up there in Wrigleyville.
Maybe when I retire for the second time… then again there’s Costa Rica.
I dunno about that.
I think Wrigleyville is a dump. There are all sorts of run-down, empty buildings around Wrigley. Not to mention the chaos involved with living there during the season.
"Pounding sand since 1982...."
Really?
Like where? It’s far better than it was 20 or 30 years ago.

Yeah, I'm not sure what run-down buildings you're talking about.
Wrigleyville has its pros and cons. You wouldn’t move here if you couldn’t take the bad with the good.
Well the old TicketsNow building for starters.
Luis’ auto repair is pretty sad looking. Bar Louie’s empty place.
"Pounding sand since 1982...."
OK, that's three buildings in an entire neighborhood.

There's trash everywhere.
You’re lucky if you don’t step in vomit while walking around. I’m sorry, but Wrigleyville is not most well kept neighborhood.
There’s a reason why Wrigleyville and Wrigley Field (for that matter) has a reputation among non-Cubs fans for being dumpy.
"Pounding sand since 1982...."
You must be walking around different parts of Wrigleyville than I have seen.
It’s pretty clean most of the time.

There’s the stretch of bars between Clark and roughly Sheffield, which gets pretty gross after a Cubs game or when the bars let out, but that’s taken care of pretty quickly. Wrigleyville as a neibhorhood, Sheffield to Irving, the Lake to Ashland(ish) is really clean, well kept and all around nice. The only thing I don’t like about it is that I can’t afford to buy property there. I would totally live anywhere along Southport or Sheffield.
Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica. - Jim Halpert as Dwight Schrute
Yes I'm referring to the bar areas.
The actual neighborhood is nice, but not the area surrounding Wrigley.
"Pounding sand since 1982...."
I saw one like this a few weeks ago where...
The Liberty Valence Restaurant
became:
The Li ce Restaurant.

That's not good for business.
That’s not good for anyone.

Saw one similar to that
“SELF STORAGE” had the first “S” unlit.

Finally!
I’ve been looking for a place to store all these elves.

au contraire
It’s all the rage in France…a nice steamy bowl on a winter’s night? Mmmm.

bonus points if you can tell me the reason Anthony Edwards’ character, Gilbert, didn’t go to Florida in the movie. Need injury and reason for credit.

Fix the lights already Tom!
….. Wrigley looks ghetto with the lights burned out and if its supposed to say GO CUBS it looks ghetto anyway. It always switches to this sometime at night and then he turns the whole fucking sign off around midnight…LAME and ghetto looking
Didn't you know? Tom turns the sign out at midnight using "The Clapper"
He got the idea from “Uncle Buck”.
