Is the basketball court still there? I spent many summers playing there in pickup games. That, and Navy Pier had fierce comp. Pros even stopped by and played occasionally.

I stay away from Navy Pier. I'm not fond of crowds. I only ride on week days when the trail is less crowded; but, the pier is ALWAYS crowded. It's gone through all kinds of renovations, starting in the early 90's. These days it's a fancy ass place filled with shops, entertainment venues, a giant ferris wheel, and various other amusement attractions, etc. It's the number one tourist attraction in IllinoisIs the basketball court still there?

I'm 55. I remember walking through it several times as a young kid with my dad. It was a beat up old place, but there was always something interesting to see. I don't think I was ever there after age 10. So; It wouldn't surprise me one bit to learn there were big time pickup basketball games happening....interesting! Take a look at some google images of what it looks like today.
I do, in fact, ride by a court in the Lincoln park area where it looks like a very competitive brand of ball is being played.
Might have been a few years since I been there.. .not a stunt, just something they didn't believe they needed. So few folks order a dawg with ketchup. But with a new generation that has hit, and it appears these "phsyco's" put ketchup on everything

LOL. Doesn't matter either way. I hate ketchup on my hot dog.
I will be heading over to Shooter's in a minute. Should be there by about 7 o'clock. I will probably be there for a couple of hours. Come by if you want to shoot a game or two.
Anyone else in the area that wants to drop by is also welcome to hit me up. I will be wearing tan slacks and a greenish gray button up shirt.
Hope to see you there.
sh1t, that's all I needed to know playa. I can take a lot of things, play with crooks, liars, whores, drunks, but I'm not stooping to anyone that puts ketchup on a dog
