On my way to lunch today I’ve finally got a grasp of why my entire block of Wabash Avenue has been destroyed for the past 8 months… Fort Wabash.
Like most of you I thought ‘Indian Raids‘ were a thing of the past in downtown Chicago. Obviously we were wrong. Soon enough the intersection of Wabash & Harrison will never again fall prey to indian attack.
Today Julie and I met up with Laura and Bedford for some ice time at Wrigley Field. The Cubs sold tickets to members of their email list and Emily was able to hook us up. It was a unique experience to say the least. They setup one hour sessions and resurfaced the ice between sessions. The weather was perfect as well.
Side Note:
* The photo below is of the ‘designer couple’ as Laura describe them, they were there to see and be seen.

Yesterday Julie and I went to the NHL Winter Classic at Wrigley Field. To say the least it was amazing. The first period was worth the (steep) price of admission. The Blackhawks ended up falling to the Redwings 6-4. The weather wasn’t unbearable and our seats were blocked from the wind. We had a really good view of the entire ice and the seat next to us was empty. The opening festivities were a little over the top (introducing Chicago Sports Legends twice) but once the game got going it was awesome. The first period was pretty much non-stop action with a Detroit player getting upended into the Hawks bench.
Truly Classic.

After the game we rallied back at my place and deep fried a turkey (and grilled a pork loin).
