Yes, the Cubs are alone atop the NL Central (even though they lost today). That's where they've been since we last visited Wrigley with our friend Athena, who was in town on a layover for a day last week. The Cubs won big that day over Cincinnati, busting the game wide open in the 8th inning, ultimately winning 12-4. I'm now convinced that the upper deck seats are the best in the house. Unobstructed views of the whole field, cover from the sun and / or rain, easy access to food and bathrooms, what else could you ask for?
After the game, we went to Yoshi's Cafe here in the neighborhood. Kate had very good lobster gazpacho and Athena had chicken with vegtables. I had shrimp and scallops with pasta, but was surpised when the shrimp was enormous and the scallops tiny. Kate and I also had Kiran beer, a Japanese beer that was described as an amber, but was really more of a lager -- in any case it was very tasty.
Athena's whirlwind tour of Chicago ended with a trip to our favorite neighborhood bookstore, Unabridged Books (which I don't believe I've mentioned or counted as a Place before) before heading out to O'Hare to catch her next flight. We had a lot of fun with Athena and hope to see her again soon!
