The most popular post on Groovy Chicago is the one i wrote back a few months ago on a Chicago Cubs Myspace Layout. I get daily traffic to this page and is the most visited entry.
Why?I am a HUGE Chicago Cubs fan and have been ever since i was a kid. Wrigley Field is a city landmark, a true Chicago treasure. Although the Cubbies have had it rough in the last two decades, they still fill Wrigley Field every summer. Many games are completely sold out by June.
It is a summer ritual to go down to Addison Avenue visit the Green Confines and watch the Cubbies play. (Win or lose, its always a blast)
And its not just local fever either, many of the visitors i get to Groovy Chicago and the Cubs Myspace Layout page are national. (Some even international) People all over LOVE the Chicago Cubs. I will try and feature them here more, including the upcoming season.
What is the mark of any true Chicagoan? Knowing that “there is always next year”.

As a boy way, way back in the days the Cubs last played in a World Series (1945, lost in 7 to the Detroit Tigers), I, too, have been a huge Cubs fan. I remember well the days of Stan Hack, Phil Cavaretta, and Andy Pafko. I’ve lived in California the past 30 years, but still miss the smell of Wrigley Field.
My book, Six Hours Past Thursday, is set, nostolgically, and longingly in Chicago.
Con Men is the name of my game–their exposure, their tactics and antics, All set in Chicago.
Fine blog you have here, worthy of repeat visits.
