Law of Averages
So, we're six seasons removed from the NHL Lockout. In that time the Avs have swung from perennial playoff contender to consistent bottom-feeder. Is the next swing of the pendulum taking Colorado up? Have we had it bad enough for long enough that we're due? I wanted to look at the team's...
Toyota Park Concessions: More Than Meets the Eye
A couple of weeks ago I went behind Section 122 to grab a beer for myself and a snack for my wife. My wife has a major gluten intolerance so her options are kind of limited, especially if she wants to eat healthy. I had to go unhealthy and get her some popcorn. I'm not sure the peanuts or...

Canaries and how they might suggest a Chicago Fire sale
One of Illinois' biggest industries has always been the coal industry. While never a big part of Chicago's direct business, coal has been a part of the state's economy since the early 1800's. My fellow Chicago historians should check out the history of coal mining in Braidwood near Joliet, but...
Vice President of Communications and Community Affairs Becky Carroll to Resign Post
That comes straight from a press release the Chicago Fire just sent out. I knew Becky before I started editing Hot Time In Old Town. Obviously I have gotten to know her more in covering the team. I have found her efforts in the Communication department to be fantastic and any organization that...

Offseason Trends
It's crazy to think that the MLS season ended less than a month ago.We've seen so many changes since then it's ridiculous. Carroll, Boswell, and Perkins are all gone. We'll probably be adding Gomez's name to that list by the end of the month. And now the one huge story that we were expecting this...
Patiently waiting

Apparently, DC United is close to a deal with Argentine defender Gonzalo Peralta.Who is Gonzalo Peralta?I have no idea.A couple things I've learned… He's 27 years old. He's a starting central defender, and the captain, for Argentine Second Division club Almirante Brown. Brown is currently 4th in...
Is Gomez an upgrade over Gallardo?
It was just 12 months ago that I penned an entry asking the question: Is Gallardo an upgrade over Gomez? And our conclusion at the time was that although Gallardo wouldn't have the same numbers as Gomez did, he would ultimately benefit the team more. We figured that Gallardo probably wouldn't be...
