    What to do in Chicago

    in Tongue-Tied Lightning

    Posted

    Palmer house for two nights and then at a friends apartment. I don't know what part of town she lives in.

     

    Like Louie said, the museums and Art Institute are easy to get to from The Palmer House. If you want to do the Lincoln Square thing, it's an easy 20-25 minute ride on the Brown Line elevated train which you can catch right by The Palmer House. If you can get there, a good place for a hot dog is Hot Doug's. I'll leave the pizza to others, because whatever I recommend someone will say that their place is better.

    Hey you chicagoans....as mentioned in ummmm, I will be in the windy city march 17th through 20th. I have a few things I would like to do(millenium park and the art institute) but mainly I will be roaming the city looking for things to do. Record stores, restaurants, concerts, galleris, coffee shops, any recommendations at all are welcomed. Where do I get original chicago pizza and/or hot dogs? Also, if any of you would like to meet up and hang out, that would be cool too. Thanks in advance.

    Dodgers to institute all-you-can-eat section

     

    At first glance, the cheap seats at Dodger Stadium don't seem all that cheap anymore, as a ticket in the right-field pavilion will cost you $40 for the 2007 season. But if you're a big fan of ballpark concessions, that might be a decent deal. That's because the bleacher seat also comes with an endless supply of Dodger Dogs.According to a report in the Los Angeles Times, the Dodgers are converting the right-field pavilion into an all-you-can-eat section. So for the aforementioned $40 (just $35 if the ticket is purchased in advance), fans will be entitled to an endless supply of food and drinks, including hot dogs, peanuts and soda ... but not beer, which hasn't been sold in the pavilion for years.

     

    The team reportedly tested the concept several times last season and found enough support to make it permanent for 2007.

     

    "The fans really liked it," Dodgers spokeswoman Camille Johnston told the Times. "We know it's a good option for groups."

     

    The report cited a major league executive who said fans spend an average of $12.30 on food and drink per game. Given that tickets in the left-field pavilion at Dodger Stadium will run $8 in 2007 (for advance purchase), you'd have to spend more than double that amount on average to make the difference in price for the all-you-can-eat section worth your while.

     

    Not that it can't be done.

    We've been hearing the argument about how many kids growing up now are playing soccer and they'll change the perception in this country for over 20 years now. Yes, it is the most paricipated in sport in the country for children but that's because it doesn't take any athletic ability to stand around for an hour and then maybe chase the ball when it comes near you. Now before you flame me, hear me out. I'm not saying that soccer is easy. It's not. It's very difficult to become good at soccer, but it is the easiest sport to get children who are not athletically gifted, involved in playing. Gets them out in the fresh air and gets them some excercise. The best athletes in this country are never going to play soccer. They will continue to play the sports that were invented in this country (baseball, hoops, American football), and those sports are played using hand-eye coordination, not foot-eye coordination.

     

    Also...soccer is really boring. :ninja

     

    I'm with you on all of it.
