The "home of the four hour nap"?

Please tell me that's still on the sign.

Nope. Replaced with the "30 minute lay"

Are you flying in? If so, which airport?

Just stay at one of the Midway hotels. Grab an uber to downtown or the Orange line at Midway. You'll save yourself money.

I knew an attorney a late proprietor who referred to those places as "hot pillow joints". As in the pillows never cool down.

The lawer at trial once likened sex workers to psychologists and therapists. The story goes that even the judge laughed.

Went last year and got the patio option. Basically, for $40 each, me and Mrs Fella could eat and drink as much as we wanted down inside the patio until the third inning or so? Hot dogs, brats, salads, burgers, chicken, sausage, etc. Cafeteria type seating but if you get there early enough you sit outside behind right field watching the opposing team warm up. I assume that is still a thing this season? After they closed the patio we went to our regular seats. It was a pretty good deal.

what type of sox jerseys does walmart/target sell? Is it the white home ones?

I was going to get white home but the black ones look outstanding.

what do you sox fans usually prefer? white or black tops?

White if you are XL or under. Definitely black if you are a 2XL or over. :lol:

Pro tips:

* If you are a sloppy nachos eater, go black.
* If it is going to be hot outside, go white.

No, I'm pretty sure these hotels exist.
