Wrigleyville, Illinois

Arguably, the Best sports neighborhood in the world.

Wrigleyville is one of the most amazing neighborhoods (if you're a baseball fan) in the Universe. every apartment building in the area, is centered around the historic baseball cathedral that is Wrigley Field, the ones closest to the stadium, sporting bleachers and other various forms of seating arrangements on their rooftops, providing unique angles to watch the Cubs games.

the neighborhood also dawns restaurants and other forms of local businesses, that seem to take you back to 1914 ( the stadium's inaugural season)......or at least the 60s (ish), not just with some of the signage they sport, but the look of the buildings, and the amount of vintage diner looking hot dog (and other) stands in the area.

below, I have somewhat of a pictorial tour of a little bit of the neighborhood, as well as the stadium itself.
