Oh wait, yes, that was a Back to the Future DeLorean just sitting there in the shop.

Time to head west for food and beer.





Life-size marshmallow peep.









Chicago style tofu on focaccia: quite good.


Back to the hostel.










Yeah, no maps at stations. We ran into the same thing a couple months back.In Chicago right now. Are there just not maps in CTA stations??? I like to think of myself as able to use transit systems easily (even busses in non-Twin Cities cities!) but Jesus this loop business is confusing. I'm pretty sure I didn't need two transfers to get from O'Hare to this hotel...
That's one of the worst-designed web sites I've ever encountered, because it's potentially hugely useful but super annoying to use.See... Now why can't we have a vision like this to do more than one line every so often?? http://vision.transitfuture.org/?fb
There are actually a few northbound runs every morning that start at midway as Orange Line trains that reidentify as Brown when they leave Roosevelt and then continue on to Kimball. Not sure if they do it southbound as well with any regularity, but they do it northbound every weekday. It's also the go-to reroute when there's any sort of track or station work in the Loop.Asking for a friend, why is the Brown Line not interlined with either the Pink or Orange Lines? All 3 lines terminate in The Loop...it seems like two of them could be interlined for operational efficiency, route simplification, and less train congestion downtown.
EDIT: Orange & Brown would make a better marriage. Pink line has much lower ridership/frequency than either. I suppose you could possibly combine Orange & Pink instead, and leave the Brown Line alone.
