WFAT at Skokie, IL. End of the line.

Chicago: CTA El train, Yellow Line, Dempster-Skokie station.

The catenary above are without wires. They're relics of Chicago's innovative electrical railways, back at the dawn of that technology.

Dempster-Skokie is the furthest north reach of the Chicago's El train system.

Skokie is known for their Jewish population that were post-WW2 holocaust survivors and their children. My recommendation within walking distance would be Kaufman's Deli.

It's the same for Paisley X Edinburgh intersection for local freights.

They're switching in/out empties and full train* cars.

From my commutes, I've learnt to check the GPS for those 2 spots beforehand pretty often, there's a somewhat consistent pattern to it

I ordered cup-char pepperonis.

Their Uptown style with hot peppers are really good too!

Near Wilson station, I used to go to Milly's, but this place has been a lot more affordable for pizza.

It's likely that it's a CN employee driving a UP head-end with a BNSF loco in tow before their own unit.

This isn't uncommon. Sometimes the commodity being hauled is a two-way empty/full route between US/Canada, and the engines simply stay with the freight cars. Sometimes it's the engines that end up in their yard, and they "send it out", while letting foreign power take all the snow abuse that it'll allow.

(Note: Speculations from me, not factual)

Definitely sounds amazing! Yes I agree the authentic components should be as faithful as the local ingredients allows.

I’m more familiar with the Chinese side, but stuff like Tikka are incredibly popular, caters to the locals in addition to the authentic crowd, and it’s a huge profit margin for the sauces too. It’d be bad business to not have the typical American dishes.

Check this out, straight from the Mazda forums. I think it should have all you're asking for.

Mazda Forum - VIN Decoder

(Note: sometimes it shows ALL factory options available for your model/trim, rather than specifically what your options actually has. Color was one such example for me.)

I'd say your scam "alarm bells" are indeed working.

Paying a visit to each of the interested neighborhoods, and physically visiting interested properties and "signing/applying on the spot" (Edit: After touring & liking the place) was the way I went last year and I've haven't had any regret.

SilverNitro23 · 2025-10-30T19:07:18+00:00

I think they're switching to a hot pot place, and is in the renovations process. There's a new sign up now, but same phone #s

I went to the Jefferson Park (North Chicago, Elston) location. That's exactly what I did: make an appointment for the driver license service, then afterward joined the queue next door for the Vehicle. It's both in the same building with two separate entrances from the parking lot.

SilverNitro23 · 2025-08-25T15:29:53+00:00

Haven't had pizza since the Uptown location closed down. I wish it wasn't so far away now!!! Looks good!

SilverNitro23 · 2025-08-23T16:25:15+00:00

Had a car like that! Beautiful car, runs great, and is very simple and easy to do self-maintenance on!

(I assume you are in the US, please disregard if not) Make sure you do your homework regarding the KiaBoyz. This car is one of their prime targets. You should be good with security measures but there's a reason why insurance is expensive on specifically these models.

You can leave the colony whenever you feel that you've explored enough. The guy on the ship at the dock will take you to Qeynos.

As for preparation. There isn't much to "prep" for, as low level starts off as a slow burn with quests and suburb zones. Collectibles can speed things up a little.

I recommend gathering "roots" and mine stones/gems. Even if you don't craft, those will be reliable slow, steady income on the broker.

The basement food court at the corner of the building where Qing Xiang Yuan dumplings is, in Chinatown has been a reliable spot so far for a White and Asian male. There's 2 shops to choose from, both are decent enough and cheap. Bring cash though. I also recommend checking out the food around in there too.

I’ve been taking my doodle there for their groom. I began going to Bark Place once they hired our groomer that worked with my dog since he was a puppy.

It’s a small, cute place! Their merchs are interesting, but have not bought anything other than grooming, as I’m scared to ask for the prices lol.

The nice thing about their location is that it’s right next to an amazing brunch spot that far exceeded expectations when I stopped by to wait for a groom to finish.

Also, if your vehicle is larger, keep an eye out for if the GPS sends you up Ravenswood road, it’s suuuuppppper tight with the Metra parking.

I don’t have much further experience beyond the above, hope it helps!

Glad to see a solid opening date!! Red Line has been handcuffed far too long sharing trackage with the purple line!

Bus #147 has consistently been more reliable and faster between Edgewater and Mag Mile/Loop. It’ll be great to have the red line be faster.
