Today, I had a meeting downtown, which is a completely different story. This story is a commentary on the randomness of Chicago...a sort of pictorial...
I took the Blue Line downtown and walked over to my meeting. One of the greatest parts of Chicago is its transit system...the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA). This system can get you anywhere you want to go. If you're headed downtown, hop on the train. Leave your car at home. Avoid parking woes. Read a book, listen to your Ipod, look at Chicago's historical architecture. There are so many things to do.
So here goes the pictorial...
This is a cool idea...a Walk and Roll-a-thon. It sounds like a really fun event.
On the way home, I was entertained by Jovan's afternoon musical show. Jovan is quite the entertainer, with amazing vocal abilities. He is certainly a must for anyone visiting Chicago.
Apparently, the CTA did a complete overhaul of the train station at Dearborn and Jackson. It has been completely remodeled. It has all sorts of features, like a TV giving updates and news reports.
The randomness of it all is why the CTA selected this station for a rehab. I am sure there is a rhyme to this reason, but it sure is random, and not a little bit non-sensical.
It was a beautiful and enjoyable experience, while I waited for the train. I highly recommend it.
While I was downtown, I enjoyed a puppet show...that apparently performs all day long, or at least during the time that I was at my appointment.
So that was my random Chicago day.
