So cool
The Dugout was on a 2017 episode of Bar Rescue. One of the worst owners ever on the show. Taffer ended up telling all the employees he would help them find new jobs. Good episode
Huh, so parking has always been a crapshoot
This is the content I come to this subreddit for! So, is the restaurant OK to patronize or sketchy?

One of the best things about being a cubs fan is where our stadium is. It would suck ass being in one of the typical ones where it’s just a huge parking lot
several drop tops in this shot
Probably sold for $10 then.
Hard to believe the Ricketts have made no changes and the value of the franchise today is the same price as this photo. I hope they can break even. When will the owners of TD Ameritrade catch a break!
I think I was unknowingly part of some shady business in the basement of that building.
It wasn’t “Wrigley Field” until 1926. If this is 1914 it’s Weeghman Park of the Federal League and the Chicago Federals
One of the best things about Wrigley is it’s in the middle of a normal neighborhood. My wife and I used to live in West Lakeview and we’d take Addison to LSD to get downtown to work. As we’d drive east on Addison, Wrigley would rise from behind the trees like a hallucination. We could walk to games too, and I remember hearing the neighborhood respond to playoff games in the 2000s from our deck. Once our kids are off to college I’m thinking going condo in that area again to follow this next generation of teams.
Is that a bar in the basement? I’ve gotten shit faced in there if so
Walked past that on the way to a game a couple summers ago during vacation. Really unique and special stadium.

Look at all that littering.
That place has an apartment available right now: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/950-W-Addison-St-APT-3-Chicago-IL-60613/2123965982_zpid/?utm_campaign=iosappmessage&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=txtshare
I really miss when the pizza joint was a Baccis. Now it’s some generic bar pizza place
Wonder if there were guys standing out front in 1914 saying they had dollar shots in the basement
Been in there! Used to get the jumbo slice at Baccis before headed to the bleachers.
elwood’s neighbor.
fun fact: someone had a birthday party and wanted people to dress up 80’s style.
someone dressed up like one of the blues brothers… i walked right up to him and yelled, “ELWOOD!!”
later he found me and said i was the only person out of 100 that knew what he was dressed as…. the “benefits” of being old i guess?
Awesome, thanks for sharing
