Landmarks, history, rail lines, oh my!

Trying to figure out the mass transit of Chicago is like trying to untangle a fishing line. Damn near impossible. I went to this wonderful site - Places OnLine Chicago - and while very helpful, still not as great as I'd like. Maybe because I don't really use mass transit (I find it confusing). Still, it has some great stuff on subways and their rail lines. Plus a boatload of facts, mostly courtesy of the Chicago Public Library.

Gotta love those libraries.

Chicago

I'm officially enthralled with the city. Not just its history (always interesting) but its present. There's a lot going on over there. And while I'm sure it probably retains the feel of a big city, it's so different from what I know and expect on the New York-Philadelphia-DC Corridor. The more I read, the more people I talk to, the more I find out about it, the more I like it.

Might have to take a trip over there sooner rather than later.

Except for their airports...but that's a blog for another time.
