David stopped by the ballpark on Saturday to take some more pictures; they've made considerable progress. He sent me quite the description of what was going on, plus the rest of his day:
Another result of this additional construction means that the alley access to the Addison St. station remains cut off. I don't envy those using the CTA Red Line to travel to the ballpark this season. In combination with the CTA Red Line and Brown Line reconstruction projects, this will not help those traveling to the ballpark. You know how the alley access to the Addison St. station alleviates the congestion on Addison St.
PS: If today's photos seem a little hazy, it's because of the fog. Last night, a group of us got together to celebrate a friend's birthday. We started out having dinner in Lincoln Square, at Pizza DOC if you must know. We ended up at Old Orchard to catch the last showing of the movie "300". The show let out at around 1:00 AM. Our group were the last patrons to leave the theater. We stepped out into a thick fog. A deserted, darkened Old Orchard Mall, shrouded in fog, was pretty creepy.
