Cubs Win Leaves A Mess

Now that baseball is back and the Chicago Cubs have raised their banner and presented their World Series Championship rings, I want to bring you back to November of 2016.

No, I am not talking about the election.

It’s the aftermath of the well-attended Cub’s World Series Championship parade and rally.

While total attendance estimates are not clear, there were certainly a lot of people out to celebrate the Cub’s first World Series win since 1908.

I, though, was not one of them. #GoWhiteSox

But I did happen to be downtown that day along the parade route and saw what was left behind.

It was gross.

Garbage everywhere.

They won! How exciting!

But it is no excuse for fans to trash our beautiful city.

A Succinct Summary of My 2016

2016 is just about over. Hallelujah.

Aside from all the craziness the world had to endure for the past 360-ish days, this was my first full year of blogging.

What started as a tiny creative outlet, has turned into something much more. I get excited about writing new posts and love hearing friends and family talk about my blog.

A lot has happened this year.

I  purged a lot of my belongings before moving downtown,

started composting,

got a recycling bin for our building,

became a Chicago Conservation Corps leader,

cleaned up multiple beaches,

stopped buying new clothes for myself,

tested out bamboo toothbrushes,

And crafted up a storm.

 

Look out for my post on what to expect for 2017! Coming soon!
