From our Chicago suburb, the preferred method of visiting the city, at least for me, is to take the Metra train into Union Station, then walk to my destination. That’s the easy part. Parking is the difficult part. People who commute regularly compete for passes to park at the station. Outside of that, parking anywhere nearby is limited to between 2-4 hours, not nearly enough to get into the city, do something, and get back. If you arrive at the right time (after the morning rush), there are a number of $2-for-the-day spots. I prefer having my husband drop me off and, as this sign shows, during these hours, that’s what works. I enjoy the humor of the sign. The shot was taken out the window as we went by, hence the fuzziness. But it IS an oddball photo, so…
Taking a photo of another train passing our train resulted in a rather cool oddball as well.
This, that and the other thing
