Decal on a Cincinnati Car Company-made 4000-series train car; this model in particular served the CTA from 1923-1973. The CTA brought this car out this past weekend at an event to celebrate 100 years of service to the Linden stop in Wilmette, IL.
Edit: Also, what is that beautiful font? Futura?

I was poking around Google Maps the other day, hovered over this park and this description came up.

Seth of TheMidwestlye and I were both quoted in today’s Red Eye about the trend towards men dressing up and look who made the cover! Thanks to the folks over at the Red Eye for using my pic and thanks to Ryan Plett for snapping the pic of the paper.

The article is online here. The funny thing is that I was also contacted to contribute to this article but when the reporter found out that I did not have a “better half”, I was dropped as a source.

Stan mf-ing Mikita played his entire 22-season professional career with the Chicago Blackhawks and played himself in Wayne’s World (1992). Nuff said.

This photo, just two months after it opened, shows the Belmont station on what is now the O’Hare Branch of the Blue Line, with two Douglas-Milwaukee “B” trains berthed in the station. The station opened on February 1, 1970 as part of a new subway to connect the Logan Square ‘L’ (opened in 1895) to the new expressway median line in the Kennedy, terminating at Jefferson Park. The line would later be further extended to Chicago-O’Hare International Airport (ORD). (via CTA Flickr)

The L station I use most often turned 42 today.

Magic 1/Chad - Cutty Come Back

Hilariously brilliant song sung to the tune of Player’s 1977 hit, “Baby Come Back” lamenting the loss of starting QB Jay Cutler to a broken thumb in the Bears win against the Chargers three weeks ago.

Take it from Rahm, it doesn’t take much to look sharp in the wintertime. G-1 leather jacket, dark sweater over a light button-down collar shirt, perfectly fitted pants, and brown leather boots. Add a scarf and you’re ready for most anything.
