Bus Trip to Wrigley Field-- Part 11-- Really the End, Part 2

I noticed that the underside of the upper deck roof had chicken wire on it. Supposedly to keep the pigeons from roosting, but perhaps to keep parts from falling on folks?

And speaking of birds, about the seventh inning, lots of seagulls arrived on and about the field.


GOING HOME

We left the stands for the bus in the 9th inning as we were told it would leave at a specific time. We didn't.

And a big reason was the old Village Idiot, who had not been arrested, but had fully availed himself of the Wrigleyville bars during his exile. And, he was still proud of that hard hiney of his and let folks on the sidewalk and bus see it again in all its pale wonder. So, butt-man makes us late. Somebody must be taking real-special care of the nut.

We drove north along Lake Shore Drive and thought the great Alliotta, Haynes & Jeremiah song, and past Lincoln Park Zoo. At some point, we probably got on the eastern terminus of US Highway 14, better known as Northwest Highway in Chicagoland.

We also saw the neat old "Z" Frank Chevrolet sign. The dealership has been gone for years and there is worry that some day it will come down or be destroyed. Look up Z Frank Chevrolet sign.

Gas prices in Chicago were mostly around $3.24, about 30 cents more than out by us.

Finally Got Home. --RoadDog
