Whereabouts on the far north side? I'm from near Devon & Western. Also, from your comments, I see we're about the same age; you're about three years older than I am (I was born in 1953). I used to go just about every game at Wrigley Field when I was a kid--only 75 cents. Went to a bunch of Sox games, too, in the 1970s.
married a girl from Cicero..Sox fan family
I've got a mixed marriage, too--Cards fan.
When I left the city, I was living on Argyle at Laramie.
Lived most of my years in Long Grove area in Lake County.
