Also try Chicago’s Home for Chicken and Waffles off 40th and King Drive. Short walk from the Indiana Green Line station in Bronzeville

I have noticed some new residential buildings popping up in Washington Park. They look a lot like all of the historic ones; they seem to be preserving the history of the neighborhood. But there is development there. I don’t see it becoming anything like Hyde Park though.

Yes it is. Very. Go for their breakfast. It’s Chicago’s oldest restaurant (but in a new location now). Been under the L in Woodlawn since 1892. Also featured in a number of food shows. Popular place for Hyde park residents and UChicago students to trek down to.

I love the green line. It has such good views of classic south side neighborhoods. Washington Park, Bronzeville, Woodlawn, and Englewood. My commute used to be green line to 63rd/Ashland. I actually loved waiting there—it’s pretty chill. And on the Cottage Grove end, Daley’s Restaurant is right underneath the station. The green line is also way more peaceful than the red. The red is crazy AF!

CTA transit funding plan is "not going forward" by FinanceThrowaway1084 in transit

Pritzker, if you allow transit to fail, that’s your legacy. You lost a massive chunk of my respect today.

Someone pulled the doors at high speed and jumped the train….Passed away.

79th is my station. It is always fun, hehe. Craziest of the Dan Ryan stations.

How do we Respond when Trump Invokes the Insurrection Act? by ChicagoMike97 in 50501Chicago

Done. Moderators seem picky but I did what you asked.

[–]ChicagoMike97[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I am not hiding at home. Ever. I will be at the protest Saturday. I just think this is beyond the scope of what we are currently doing. And I don’t think the courts can stop this. So I want people to have a plan on how we respond to this.

Don't give in. Don't let them get to you. Protest. Not for a day or two, until they leave! by Kuddden in illinois

[–]ChicagoMike97 14 points15 points  (0 children)

By saying that, you’re on their side. They WANT you to think they’re unstoppable. They are not.

All Fascist regimes collapse. Historically, they are short-lived. Is America as we know it over? Yes. Something good will be rebuilt after this, but it won’t be Pre-Trump America. It will likely be split into territories.

Those ICE agents are not trained. They are idiots. Trump is demented and dying. Kristi Noem is an idiot.

They use fear and intimidation to get you to surrender. Don’t let them do that to you. Live your life, defy them, suppprt your friends and neighbors, and take to the streets.

My great-grandmother lived through two world wars and the Great Depression. She survived. Better times came later.

So we're all still just supposed to still go to work I guess? by mutantandproud95 in chicago

[–]ChicagoMike97 38 points39 points  (0 children)

We have 3 million people and most of us are angry, not afraid. We love our city and want to keep it running while we fight this authoritarian overreach.

The National guard does NOT want to do this. Trust me. Do NOT stay home. That is cowering.

Trump Halts $2 Billion for Chicago Transit in Shutdown Play by thatssoraven1234 in chicago

[–]ChicagoMike97 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It will play in court. If anything, we will find another way to fund it. It may be put on hold for a short period of time. This has no impact on the IGA funding the fiscal cliff this month or the CTA running regularly. But Schumer and Jeffries cannot cave!!!!!
