Since I was WAY UP in the Bob Uecker nosebleed seats, I took advantage to view the environs. Like I said yesterday, there is rooftop business in a huge way now. Back before the Cubbies got Yuppies, about all you used to see on top of the buildings were maybe a few folks in folding lawn chairs and quite often there would be one or two people looking out the windows of the building with the WGN sign on the mini turret.
But NOT NO MORE.
Every building but three had major bleacher setups. And the three that didn't had signs. Everyone's getting into the money grab. Some of the buildings had rather neat names like "Beyond the Ivy" with a 460 feet sign. You can go to www.beyondtheivy.com. to check it out.
I really don't like these money-grabbers as I hold them responsible for causing the city parking sticker ordinance for all on street parking anywhere you want to go in Chicago. The Money-Grubbing GRBs!!
One of the signs read "Hit Me! 1 Fan. $1 Million!"
A Miller Lite sign said "Nice of Milwaukee to bring the opener." Very appropriate since this was the season opening series.

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.
