SOX & IIT Metra Stop starting in the spring of 2011!

Congratulations Beverly & Morgan Park you will now have a direct link to U.S Cellular Field, "The Cell" or as true South Siders call it SOX PARK!

Starting in the spring the Metra train which stops at 7 stops within walking distance of all of Beverly & Morgan Park will now pick you up and drop you within a block of SOX PARK!

No more taking the bus down 95th to the "L", yeah! No more driving the "Dan" with all the crazy drivers to and from the game! Yeah! Now it will be safe, cheap and convenient to go to the SOX Game!

By the way, we will also have complete convenient access to
IIT a wonderful institution of higher learning!

Oh, back to the SOX...now visitors to SOX PARK can take the Metra from downtown, enjoy the game and then proceed on to Beverly & Morgan Park and have a wonderful time in one of our local restaurants or bars! What a novel idea! (See this blog for restaurant and bar suggestions!)

Loyal SOX fans and true South Siders should also make it a point to exit the

Metra Train at 35th Street and travel just two short blocks east and visit

Mother Butters Popcorn and Confectionery, 17 W. 35th St.

Longtime Beverly residents own this gem of a shop that serves up the most

delicious popcorn and treats imaginable!

Don't forget when you go to the game,to visit Cork and Kerry at The Park, 3258 S. Princeton, 312-842-0769. Owned by our own local boys, Mike Fitz & Dave G. they also own and run Cork & Kerry on Western Avenue.

How ever you "swing it", your in for a great time with the new SOX PARK/Metra Connection!

Have a great summer!
