Nadia's blog

Commenting on Nadia's blog on the topic of UIC development, I didn't know that UIC was a gated University when it was first built. I know there is a gate as you walk west on Taylor past the Science and Engineering buliding. This just supports my belief that the University sucks out out souls of those that study or work in the University.

The Bears

So the Bears suck this season...

Grossman is grossing me out...for way too long

Lovie needs to get his eyes checked so he can see that Grossman is NOT a good asset to the team

Cedric Bensen needs to learn how to dive because obviously running into a big pile of bodies will not get you a first down.

Urlacher should kick some *%! out on the field

As Hester's ego is fueled by the fans and media, his performance deminishes

Robie Gould is my hero

Cubs and Sox

I always wonder...

Even when the Cubs have lost the majority of their games last season, fans still pack Wrigely field the next season. On the other hand, the Sox won the 2005 World Series, but not many even give a hoot about them the next season.

Why are they so many cubs fans wether they be die hard fans or just passive fans, while for the Sox, either you are die hard or you are not

Why are the Cubs wrist bands sold for 5 bucks outside the gate where the Walgreens down the street sells them for a fifth of the price.

What would happen if poison ivy were grown on the walls of Wrigley Field.

What were they thinking when changed Comiskey Park to US Cellular. MAybe that's why they lost all the fans...

Richard Florida

I believe Florida is correct to a certain extent. Cities that tend to diverisfy themselves with sulture, art, and gays, I believe are sometimes more prosperous than cities that don't have these attributes. This is because people from other places tend to feel more connected to the specific city if it have something that they can relate to .
