After Cubs Superfan Booted, Is This The Curse Of Ronnie Woo Woo?
(from chicagoist.com)
Before the season began, the mighty World Champion Chicago Cubs were favored to once again win it all. But after a little over 30 games in, they’re instead floating at .500, second to last in the division, with the hated St. Louis Cardinals leading the Central. Call it the Curse of Ronnie Woo Woo.
For the uninitiated, Ronnie “Woo Woo” Wickers is a diehard Cubs lifer, a Wrigley Field staple for much of the last three decades. His omnipresence at the ballpark and in the media, coupled with his signature “woo woo” rallying cry, have made him a vintage true-Chicago character in the eyes of many fans—although he’s certainly not without his detractors.

I can’t believe he still has to pay for tickets. Also WHY would you ever kick him out of a game?? He should be an honorary Cub!!

Inmates in Chicago Can Now Order Pizza Delivery While in Jail
(chicago.eater.com)
Officials in Chicago say they aren’t coddling inmates when talking about a new program started last month that allows inmates to order pizza delivery to their Cook County Jail cells. The pies are made by fellow inmates using the jail’s brick oven, reported the Tribune. They asked prison guards if they wanted to be included, but they told county officials they want nothing to do with food prepared by inmates. (MORE HERE)
