After meeting with city officials, a group of bar owners near Wrigley Field said today they have agreed to voluntarily cut off alcohol sales after the 7th inning of some Chicago Cubs playoff games.
The voluntary cutoff would only apply to games that could clinch a series.
And, bars participating in the cutoff would be able to resume alcohol sales after the 9th inning if a "clinch" game goes to extra innings.
Office of Emergency Management and Communications chief Raymond Orozco, who attended today's meeting, said the city would hold a news conference Tuesday. He declined to take questions from reporters or even confirm the agreement with some bar owners.
It was not immediately clear if the deal reached with some Wrigleyville bar owners would be agreed to by their counterparts near U.S. Cellular Field, home of the Chicago White Sox.
Baseball needs the Office of Emergency Management?
It amuses me that the north side is (grudgingly) agreeing but the south side isn't.
That is just the bizarrest thing. I can't understand what they hope to accomplish.
Also,
some
Wrigleyville bars? I can picture the seventh-inning stretch - hundreds of drunks flooding into the street to play musical bars.
I just spent 3 hours at urgent care (AIWFG!) sigh. I went in because my neck and shoulder are in terrible pain. But that's all a result of the 101 fever I have. Doh.
Don't want antibios. Just muscle relaxers please.
I'm guessing they gave you the antibios and not the muscle relaxants...
Nope. Got the muscle relaxants. But it's not working. And i'm alternating between hot and cold. I'll be fine. I'm just not really ready to sleep though I'm extremely exhausted and hot and sweaty. Yay?
ita, I know you prolly aren't up for visitors, but I'd love to see you soonish. Maybe over the weekend if you have time. I hear there is a cereal bar near you and I have promised K a trip there.
if you can stay awake -- get in the tub , Kat -- you can change the temp of the water to help you feel more comfortable until the drugs kick in.
Hey Kat, I miss you guys and the kids.
Oh no Kat, how miserable.
beth's idea sounds good, kat. And, yeah, let's do cereal this weekend.
I assume she's insane in the way that most people say their annoying loved ones are insane, not in the actual clinical diagnosis way.
Somewhere between the two I'd say. As I was recently telling juliana, I always assumed she was medicated for something. One Christmas a few years back when she was in one of her moods, I asked my brother-in-law if she had switched meds. His response? "What meds?"
Really, it explained so much.
Apparently, there's one in every generation in my mom's family. Sort of like slayers, but way less helpful in a dark alley. Unless verbal abuse is some new martial art that I'm unaware of.
ETA: Feel better Kat!
