Heading to Work, Heading Home

Spotted this ad near the Logan Blue Line stop on Friday. The frustrated, bearded caveman is really what makes the ad, I think. On the way home. In the past week or so, when the sun is setting… it illuminates the sidewalk on my way home. The sunlight hits me from behind, and I see…

Late Snowfall, Walking Home

Today, starting around the late afternoon, we began getting a good amount of thick, thick snowfall. While I wasn’t super crazy about getting even more snow, I have to admit it was quite beautiful. Walking around in the afternoon felt like being inside a very large snowglobe. Even the sound of traffic didn’t spoil how…

RIP Tiny Snowmen

Spotted this on my way home from work, last night. Given their configuration, I’m guessing (hoping) these were tiny snowmen, standing guard like tiny gargoyles on the front steps. Related:Tackling a Starbucks SnowmanLove is EverywhereThe Snow Gets EverywhereImages of SnowHuge SnowflakesFirst Snow

Repeating Ads Within the Tunnel at State/Jackson

On the way home today… I noticed that all the ads were replaced in the tunnel between the Blue and Red Lines, at Jackson. Not only that though, they were al replaced with the exact same advertisement. I imagine the goal of this was to saturate the area, and get the company’s message out. But…

Meeting Rachelle for the First Time

Losing early in poker last night actually gave me a bit of luck on the train. On the way home I happened to run into Rachelle, right as we were both getting off at California. Rachelle’s site is a blog I’ve followed now for almost five years now. Wow – just looked that up, and…

Critical Mass Bikers, Logan Square

On my way home, I got stopped right at Logan Boulevard. A sea of bicycles went by, stopping traffic from all directions. Luckily I got my camera out, and shot a few minutes of everyone biking by. There were a lot of folks yelling out “Happy Friday” to everyone, and lots of smiling and waving….

A Note to Chicago Travellers

This is for the guy I saw sitting sitting on a bench at the Damen Blue Line stop, one hand holding a phone to his ear, another hand holding his forehead, and a pile of puke by his feet. Judging by your backpack, you were like me: on your way home. And just didn’t quite…

On the Way Home: Red Line/Blue Line at Jackson

Walking from the Red Line to the Blue Line at Jackson. I left work a bit late and was pleasantly surprised to find myself alone on the typically-busy walkway, between the Red and Blue line stops at Jackson. After missing out earlier on photos, I felt the need to grab any opportunities that presented themselves.

Love Is All Around You

Spotted this on Blue Line, on the way home. I was pretty sleepy and worn out from the day. As I glanced at the seat in front of me, this is what I saw. Note to self everyone: You Are Beautiful.

On the (Long) Way Home

Tonight was a crazy evening of travel. On the Blue Line heading back home, we were at a standstill for about 20+ minutes at the Chicago station. No reason, no announcements – just stopped. After waiting as long as we could, me, Chris and TJ got off the train and went up to the street…
