Don’t feel bad. On slow days — and there were many, said Neil Cooper, who’s worked there 43 years — during off-season, and when a mediocre Cubs team weren’t pulling fans, Boyle would say in his deep resonant baritone that he wished he had a dollar for every person who promised they would stop by. “So we’d sit, crowds would walk past on the way to the park, some would knock on the window and Tom could get discouraged,” Cooper said. “But he was a fundamentally positive person so I’d say ‘Tom, even if they stop, it doesn’t mean they buy.‘ I mean, when he started, Wrigleyville was a place to avoid for lots of people. It wasn’t seen as a great neighborhood, and the funny thing is, I wonder now if Yesterday is the last place there with any charm — or just a smallness.”
