Bear fans, your turn!

The Chicago Tribune posted the picture at right showing at least three buildings with Bear themed lighting patterns in the windows. I especially like the building furthest to the left; Go Bears on the side most facing us and a nice Bears logo on the side facing to the left. If you click on the picture, you should end up at the Tribune article telling how they made that happen.

Chicago has it's musical fans as well. An Elvis impersonator submitted video of his version of the King singing Bear Down, Chicago Bears! The Chicago Symphony even released an MP3 version. If you'd like to sing along, (and who wouldn't!)

Bear Down, Chicago Bears.
Make every play clear the way to victory!
Bear Down, Chicago Bears.
Put up a fight with a might so fearlessly!

We'll never forget the way you thrilled the nation,
With your T formation.

Bear Down, Chicago Bears.
And let them know why you're wearing the crown.

You're the pride and joy,
of all Illinois.

Chicago Bears, Bear Down!

The lions of the Chicago Art Institute had a little difficulty getting proper fitting helmets this year; the original helmets were a bit small and broke while being installed. Fortunately, another pair of helmets now adorn the cats. Click the picture to see the Sun-Times story about the difficulties. Remember the helmets the lions wore to honor the 1985 Super Bowl team? They were Weber grills!
