Metra I love you but we have got to patch the two random 2 hour gaps in service on the UP-NW line. Missing a 9:35am OB and a 12:35pm OB. This is the crowding on the 1:35pm #629 from OTC. Truly SRO even with the refurb seats where people are more inclined to double up.

This is highly unscientific, but it's fascinating to come across a highway project in the burbs like this with a dollar amount that so closely parallels what Transit is asking for in Chicagoland. $800 million for 300,000 vehicles per day, or $771 million for 1 million NE IL transit riders per day?

this is hardly the most pressing matter facing Chicago, but it would be so cool if we had a top level domain ".chi" for the city

I’ll wrap up this thread with a picture of Habitat 67, which I’ve adored for quite some time. When I visited in 2017, I was very fortunate to run into a resident who was excited to show me around their unit.

The next location on their list is the Barbican Centre in London. I’m a bit surprised to see that ahead of another London example..
