Celtic Crown Football Sunday - Place 28; Fun Fact 32

Last Sunday we met up with a bunch of the girls to watch football at a cozy and friendly neighborhood pub called Celtic Crown in the Lincoln Square neighboorhood just north and west of our place. The Celtic Crown is an interesting mix of an old timey wood-based bar along with an enormous number of flat screen tvs placed strategically throughout the pub so that you can see the action from wherever you're sitting in the pub. Sunday was also our friend Teri's birthday, so we all shared a delicious cake from a neighborhood bakery in Homewood. Yum! The Packers came to an unfortunate end, but apart from that, it was a fun time.

Fun Fact: Chicago just passed a no-smoking ban in public places. The upholstery in the furniture was so smoke-ridden in the Celtic Crown they decided to replace it when the ban took effect!
