I would have told you Riis is out if for nothing more than saying I ain't going there.

| Post subject: | Hoops @ Hiawatha Problem-Solved. |
so, silly me, I thought I'd call today to check up on the gym and make sure everything was on the up and up. Come to find out that from 2-4, we'll only have half the gym (two hoops but a much smaller court, obviously). Nobody apparently intended to call me about this. I'm trying to find a gym in that area and perhaps get a reservation, but who knows. Talk to me, fellow Hoopees...do we keep it at Hiawatha for a reduced cost (assuming) or should we move it elsewhere? I'm calling in to a gym on Irving Park Road (Merimac) and Shabbona Gym, which is on Addison... |

I say move it if possible. Shabbona should be available - nobody up there but old people and Poles. |

Paulie, I know you're probably joking, but I "secured" the gym almost a month ago. I have called back every week to check on money, time, etc. and have been assured every time that we were on the schedule and would get the whole gym. Today I call and things have changed and "have been scheduled that way for 3 months." No satisfaction at at all... |

Other CPD gyms reasonably close would be Oriole, Norwood, Shabbona, Sayre (which would be close to the Metra), Merrimac andBrooks (probably the furthest away) I'd try Shabbona and Merrimac first. |

Screw that. Call Hiawatha and tell them that they either give us the full gym or they need to find us a full gym to use. |

Did you find out who booked the other half? It could be for Luvabulls try-outs or something of that nature.... But I'd assume it's a 7 year old's birthday party. |

Anything closer to the expressway is fine with me. Just don't send me somewhere where there's a good chance I'll get lost. |

I remember as a kid i was told not to go there because of all the bums and transiants that hung out and slept in the park. What about sayre? don't they have a court? |

see, I know very little about the City. I knew Hiawatha because my grandparents live the next 2 blocks over. So I'm kinda grasping for straws here. Shabbona remains the best posibility. I can't raise anyone at Oriole yet. |

Look at it this way - worst case, we have a gym for the 3 hours. Let's see if we can get lucky (well, KC will but that's another story for another day) CoF - contact me and let me tell you some other ideas. |

this is the resolution. We are playing in Hiawatha Gym from 1PM-4/5PM for free. That's the good news. The bad news is from 2PM-4PM, we will be going half court, which has two hoops but the court is obviously smaller. This is the best resolution I can come up with at this point. Crisis averted, I will change the heading of this thread and all Hoops 2 commentary can resume in the 1-26 thread. Sorry for the inconviences, fellas. Lesson learned...never trust the Chicago Park District. |
