Sometimes on really windy days here in Chicago, the masonry on the facades downtown starts falling. We've got some buildings with semi-permanent scaffolding on their second floors!

Let's just hope they fix that place. Just like Fenway here, it's a part of the city's history.

I think there'd be a real uproar here. . . It has it's own train stop, and the neighborhood around it is dependant on Wrigley. They'd never rebuild the field there if they tore it down.
