Stationary: LaSalle/Van Buren could use some paint
May 22, 2012: My weekly CTA column came out today. Every week, I spotlight a different CTA station, picked at random, in my “Stationary” feature. I write about the amenities I like at a station and those that could use change. Last week, I was at the LaSalle/Van Buren stop and noticed the Loop station, built in the 1800s, could use a paint job. This week I’ll be at the 35th/Archer stop on the Orange Line.
Look who’s on Tumblr—follow our CTA reporter’s new Tumblr blog as she posts lots of CTA tidbits and photos.
And here’s the result of the Reddit “Shit Chicagoans Say” thread from Monday. <3 if you like it better than the other one we wrote about this week.
CTA riders: “F*** pants.”
Guys,
STAY OFF THE RED LINE if you can help it. Purple Line Express and Red NB from Belmont - Berwyn are shut down. Take alternative options if you can.
