Live in the 44th Ward? Care a ton about Wrigleyville development? There's a public meeting tonight with Alderman Tom Tunney to talk about the proposed development on Addison. Yes, head to the Stadium Club at Wrigley (swank!) at 6:30 tonight for the airing of grievances. Er, discussion.

The Commission on Chicago Landmarks gave its OK to Wrigley Field today to add 70 more seats along the third-base line and some new digital signs along the grandstands.

We're trying to leave that be, and just be grateful. Every time we walk past that gaping hole, we sigh and lose a little bit more hope that it will be just another set of boxy, half-a-million dollar condominimums.

We remember the Sunday we were strolling down Broadway when something seemed strangely afoot at the ghetto Dominick's* right at Broadway and Wellington. A crowd was gathering and soon it was amassing mob proportions. Next thing we know, the building is burning down before our very eyes! Oh my!
