Fri, 18 Aug 2000 17:37:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lincolnlogger - Shea Stadium, often considered (by locals) the home of the "other" NY baseball team, the Mets. My wife and I were fortunate enough to catch a game there on July 1st, 2000 against the NL East rival Braves, amongst all the anti-Rockermania.

Wed, 16 Aug 2000 19:24:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lincolnlogger - Ah, Kansas City. Epicenter of the beef world, home of great steaks, good BBQ sauce, and Royals baseball. Kauffman Stadium is the gem that houses the latter, in my opinion one of the most underrated stadiums in the league.

Mon, 10 Apr 2000 18:49:51 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lincolnlogger - Comiskey Park can be seen as you drive by on I/90-94, rising up out of the...parking lot. Yep, that's as exciting as it gets.

University of No Opportunity

Wed, 15 Mar 2000 16:31:45 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author lincolnlogger - UNO should not to be mistaken for a highly competitive school. However, it could easily be mistaken for an overgrown community college.

Wed, 8 Mar 2000 19:58:00 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author lincolnlogger - The fans of the Minnesota Vikings deserve to see their team in a better stadium. Granted, I don't live in Minnesota anymore, so I have absolutely no say in the matter. (As for all the Twins fans, yes, all four of you...nevermind.)

The Sometimes Frozen Tundra

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lincolnlogger - True football fans migrate to this shrine of football every year, though it is often difficult (read- very expensive) to get inside. Season tickets are sold out for generations. Scalped tickets are easily over $300 a piece. My wife and I were lucky...

Blood, gore, and outrageous accents

Mon, 27 Dec 1999 03:12:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lincolnlogger - If you're expecting the blood, gore and outrageous accents remembered from the film, you'll be disappointed. But it does have something to offer. Fargo, North Dakota is not the wasteland it once was. Though I would not consider it a booming...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lincolnlogger - Everyone I talk to seems to love Navy Pier, but I'm still not completely sold. It's a good place to go once, but not repeatedly. Some of the interesting attractions on Navy Pier that may interest you:
