Chicago Cubs

When you live within a half-mile from the Wrigley Field during baseball season:

You see blue, red, and white everywhere; flags outside of houses, people's clothes, posters, merchandise stands, etc.
Obnoxious drunks walk past your house on a game night, screaming and making "whoo" sounds. When the Cubs win a game, people get extra loud.
The majority of the bars in your neighborhood are cheesy & overpriced, yet suburbanites and tourist patronize them, so these places are never going out of business.
Traffic's a nightmare. Parking is even worse.
Obnoxious Cubs fans view the side of your house as a suitable toilet for them.

Some locals avoid Wrigleyville like the plague, which isn't difficult since it's such a tourist trap. I love my neighborhood, but I wish it wasn't right next to Wrigleyville.
