aravis72 asked: Kyle, Hi, I came across an article you wrote about being a Cards fan in Chicago, and while I enjoyed the article, I was mainly in a desperate google search for a Cardinal-friendly bar in the Chicago area. I recently moved to the Chicago area and my wife is a Cubs fan and knows the Cub places, but she's not sure of Cardinal hang outs, bars. I'm not sure if you still live here, or if you frequented bars to watch games, but if you could, let me know if you know of some Card-friendly places. Thnx

First, welcome. Second, thank you. Third…I’m not really sure. Last year’s playoffs were so crazy I could only watch them at my home, or the Dunlay’s around the corner, where they were kind enough to give me one corner screen, usually anyway.

There’s a joint called Sedgewick’s, I believe? In Lincoln Park. Full of red. Full of inquiries re: high school. Full of cheer.

This year I will try not to throw any decorative gourds at my walls…
