WRIGLEYVILLE β Eight hours into TBOX, the day-long pub crawl that took over Wrigleyville Saturday, bar-goers dressed as a wide array of holiday characters were stumbling through the neighborhood.
Perhaps it was the booze, or it might have been partly due to the heavy snowfall that hit the area Saturday, dumping as much as 6 inches on the city. But mostly, it was probably the booze.
