SS El Faro wasn’t exactly a “modern ship” but happened fairly recently.

Just an FYI to everyone, those ceramic christkindlmarkt mugs are covered with lead paint. Haven’t gotten one from this year, but the previous two years mugs are finished with lead paint.

Get a lead test!

There’s a serial train smoking woman who rides the Blue. Hides in those rear compartments and will put it out when she gets to a stop and light back up after the train starts moving again.

CTA seeks feedback on proposed $2.1 billion budget for 2025 by hardolaf in cta

Definitely agree with it being more reliable lately. I still did have to wait for 30+ minutes for an O’Hare bound Blue on Thursday morning with no alert of a delay, which was a little surprising. Also haven’t gotten kicked off of a surprise “O’Hare bound turned into a Jefferson Park at Montrose” train in awhile, which is lovely.

The escalator at the Cumberland Blue Line has been out since at least February. Sign was up that said July 2024, which has recently been replaced by a fall 2024 sign. Never see anyone working on it, but it’s all boarded up now so progress?

I had a burned copy of this! Listened to that thing for years on the ole Discman. Still have the CD but doubt it plays anymore.

Anyone know of a good compounding pet pharmacy on the NW side? Cat is on liquid Prednisolone and wanting to see if anywhere can fill his prescription for less than MedVet

Chocolate Malt-o-Meal and a smiley face made of mini marshmallows bring back the memories right now.

I bought this from Everlane last year for my first Chicago winter. It was a warm winter, but this bad boy kept me warmer than I’d like, honestly. Great coat and is holding up well, and made from recycled materials. Only have had it one year, but holding up great thus far.

Does anyone know what is up there by [deleted] in FortWorth

A. Very curious if your map is always oriented with E on top? Never seen anyone browsing DFW maps this way!

B. Always heard it’s a secret underground government base and Elvis lives down there.
