Chicago Living Tip No. 36
now that Cubs season is upon us, if you own a car, then you must familiarize yourself with the season schedule. that is, if you’re a north side resident or frequent that area.
if you don’t have a garage space, park your car on the street when you get home from work on Friday, and do not move it until Monday morning. take the CTA for the rest of the weekend.
games that take place during the week will nearly triple the capacity of el passengers, so either leave work early or stay a little late. if you think the rush hour cars are packed with bodies, well, that’s nothing compared to baseball season. i’m thinking of one specific Crosstown Classic, when a man standing next to me had his arm raised to hold onto the pole. unfortunately, his sweaty, hairy armpit was right in my line of sight/vision. avoid at all costs.
and remember, the closer you live to Wrigley Field, the more likely it is for some drunken Cubs fan to puke on your lawn, porch, or whatever.

Because nothing goes better with Old Style than someone’s lawn. Unless it’s their porch, of course.

The armpit story is a killer. I could give you a “D.C. Living” tip based on that. We have a LOT of people here who for whatever cultural reason refuse to use deodorant. And the humidity? Let’s not go there. Suffice it to say, do not go into dressing rooms at clothing stores, do not ride public transportation and, for god’s sake, pray for your allergies to plug up your sinuses for the next five months!
