Off day ramblings

The old University el stop on the Green line (circa 1985), at E. 63rd Street

Playing around the web, I came across this great site about the el. There is a lot of cool info on here about abandon lines and stations, like the old Paulina Connector (coming back this year as a part of the new Pink Line), the old Stock Yards line, and the classic Mannheim/22nd Street Station. I'm not much of a rail buff, but I do dig Chicago's extansive public transportation system.

Picked up my tickets for my first Sox game of the season - next Wednesday night May 3rd vs Seattle. the tickets are for the upper deck, but look for me at the Southside Adventures party in the Bullpen Bar.
