After all, the Sac and Fox lived in Iowa, too
It's been cool here in Des Moines- too warm for a jacket, really, and I couldn't wear a sweatshirt to the job I was at. And so, given the playoffs and all, I've been "representing" with the road Blackhawks jersey I bought in St. Catherine's, Ontario maybe twenty years or so ago, worn as an outer garment.
Interesting the "thumbs up" signs and beeps from passing cars it's drawing. Apparently the Hawks' Stanley Cup run is being widely noticed here in the far, far western suburbs- and is making quite an impression. The Pro-Image at the mall is even featuring a Jonathan Toews jersey in its window.
And to think that only a few years ago "Dollar Bill" had driven the franchise into the ground even in Chicago itself. Hopefully a Cup will cement the progress the Hawks seem to be making toward becoming a truly regional team, like the Cubs are.
