[Thursdays in July ... my new occasional series continues ...]
ONLY IN CHICAGO ... can a whole neighborhood get behind an (all-too-rare) Cubs win. I was gobsmacked to drive through a northside 'hood yesterday (power outages have me a day behind and have me posting this at a 24 hour Starbucks tonight ... uggh) where I saw a big orange W (Cubs Win!) placard on every tree and signpost on one side of the street for blocks.
[Sadly, this was just my first thought and it turned out to be farthest from the truth. First, the Cubs played the all-but-guaranteed-a-spot-in-the-World-Series Phillies the day before I witnessed this -- so it was most definitely not a win situation to be celebrating. Second, the orangeness of the W signs should have given it away -- this 'hood had Wednesday street cleaning lined up!]
