I'm happy for them that they won it. But it's still a Cubs town. I saw the celebration they had and the people who showed up. I can hardly imagine what would happen if the Cubs won it. I would love to be a part of that.Bob Howry
I definitely investigated closing. I had opportunities to go other places, get paid more money and close. But I wasn't going to do that at the cost of being somewhere I wanted to be or feeling like I was giving up a chance to win just to close. That's why I ended up choosing here. I felt it was the best situation for me and a good chance to win.
