Kind of got tied up with the Route 66 Red Carpet Corridor Festival and am now getting back to the trip to the Cubs game on Tax Day, April 15th. The last post was April 27th.
We were at Sequoit Lodge in Antioch, Illinois, early and had a couple drinks before we left. The bus driver caused a momentary gasp when he announced over the PA that Illinois no longer allows drinking on buses. Nice guy. See how that affects your tip.
We had plenty to drink and eat on the way in as I doubted there would be much drinking or eating at the ballpark because of excessive prices. I went right in to watch batting practice and to enjoy the Wrigley experience.
Current Prices:
cheeseburger $6.25
popcorn $4
Cracker Jacks $3.50
peanuts $3.75
draft beer $6.75
Soda $3.75 and $4.75
brat $4.75
hot dog $4.25
Chicago Dog $5.25
So, if you do as the songs says and buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack it will set you back $7.25.
And they wonder why I don't go anymore.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
