Say Cheese! Wrigley

It's still there.

And it's still windy

And Cubs fans are still talking about the 2016 World Series (of course they are)

And it's still fun to root for the Brewers there

Yet the attitude seems new, and unnervingly friendly

A few of the Irish cousins standing around the inimitable Ron Santo 

These girls wanted us to share their Moscow Mule (Nanci did but it's the last thing I needed)

Moscow Mule
1.5 oz vodka
4 oz ginger beer
Fresh lime
Pour over plenty of ice in a clean copper mug

Even though I was alcohol-free I was getting Harry Carey vibes from this dog

Another unforgettable voice of the enemy I mean Cubs



Stand up and sing, then smile like it's 2016 because it's time to SAY CHEESE!

    1. There was too much to see and I was not so keen on all the walking. There were a few places I wanted to check out but it had to be in or directly facing the open air. We ended up back at Gallagher Way and the sandwich I had there was incredible, so good in fact I had something similar for dinner tonight and ended up throwing most of it out.

  2. Had to laugh at the T shirt and that big drink!

    1. I laughed at both of them too but now I regret not taking a sip. However, the long walk to my seat would have been even more of an ordeal if I had.

    1. It's a lot friendlier than I remember, or expected and the St. Louis fans were treated well (they played the Cards). Really, everyone was so nice it kind of unnerved me and that ballpark is over 100 years old with maybe the best sandwich I ever had (in Gallagher Way, that's where they were drinking the Moscow Mule).

    Have a fabulous day and week. ♥

    1. You have? It's a whole different ballgame (ha) when you're talking about high winds. I'm not sure which part of the state you're in but hope they blow over (ha) and leave you guys alone.

  8. Greetings from the Netherlands. WiFi has been so iffy on this trip, I didn’t even try to do any blogging or even much blog reading . We are well And happy and next month I will happily catch up with all my blog friends and bore the same friends to death by blogging this bucket list trip after we return.

    1. Ohhh is that where you've gone? I've been remiss on catching up with my friends but I'm going to go back and see what I've missed, I figured you'd be back soaking in all the greenery and farmers markets back home. How exciting, I expect plenty of photos and tales of tulips, hash bars and strong coffee. I'm glad you guys are okay and that's a pretty good thing to have on your bucket list. My top thing was going to the World Candy Expo in Chicago, done and done. I need to dream bigger.

  11. Growing up in the Chicago area, I truly understand how faithful Cubbies fans are! It looks like you had a great time.

    Thanks for joining 'My Corner of the World' this week!
