Haven’t you ever heard Jim Croce’s “Bad Bad Leroy Brown”?
It opens with the line .. . “well, the southside of chicago, is the baddest part of town, and if you go down there you better just beware of a man named Leroy Brown.”
More people murdered in Chicago this summer than US soldiers killed in Iraq.
I see three Chicago in jokes here: the streets mentioned are the ones running past Wrigley Field; Murphy’s Bleachers is a nearby bar; the south side reference has nothing to do with anything jglynn said. The Cubs are north side and suburban, with more white collar fans; the White Sox are south side, with mostly blue collar fans (who just happen to be more rowdy than the north siders). Cubs fans and Sox fans hate each other almost as much as Rush Limbaugh hates the Clintons.

Chicago inside jokes, I guess; but we still get the point. I’m enjoying this arc.

Okay, that’s what I wanted to know. Thanks, Runar.
