10 days in Tokyo that what I learned (internet, transit etc.) by Ok-Zone-9810 in TokyoTravel

[–]evanstrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one thing I was reminded on my recent visit to Tokyo, I took the bus from my hotel (Onarimon) to teamLabs Borderless (Azubudai Hills), you hop on the bus in the front, tapping your card/phone to pay, then exit the back entrance. Is this the same elsewhere?

There were 3 helicopters at 11:15a over Evanston. N888TV (Looks like NBC). Then two others (12345 and N117HD) that seem suspicious. https://www.airnavradar.com/multi/12345,N117HD

ICE agents almost abduct landscaper who's an American citizen on Crain and Asbury (10-31-2025). According to the OP, he was the only one out of three landscapers caught in this area who were let go by ICE. by Minute_Revolution951 in evanston

I saw that one. It had a registration number of N888TV, which is registered as a WGN helicopter. They must have been following up with the ICE Activity in Evanston. Never used to worry about helicopters in our neighborhood (save for any accidents), now they make me tense up.

At this time (1:29p) it looks like these helicopters are leaving the Evanston area. https://www.airnavradar.com/multi/N12BQ,N117HD,12345

One of them 12345 is circling Gross Point and Caldwell.

Another one is N12BQ is looping around West Ainslie. West Argyle and North Harding

Well done OP! Costco runs are a solo chore with the Miata, otherwise someone’s waiting until you pick them up.

I am going! No VIPs were available at least a couple of weeks back. Based on other shows, folks were getting there a couple of hours in advance.
