Oh, the Places I Go

I'm putting this picture up for my dad so he can see the Chicago train map. The only thing that isn't correct about this map anymore is that the Blue line doesn't fork into two, it just goes to Forest Park (and not 54th/Cermak). I'm sure that doesn't matter, but I just wanted to be accurate when explaining this.

So, I live right in between the Southport (Brown Line) stop and the Sheridan (Red Line) stop. They're essentially equidistant from my apartment.

All of the lines collide downtown, where the legend gets all crazy and there are stops everywhere. That's the heart of downtown.

To get to the Marriott I take the Brown Line from Southport to Quincy (20 minute ride).

To get to Sports Authority I take the Brown Line from Southport to Chicago. (15 minute ride).

To get to Bubba Gump I take the Red Line from Sheridan to Grand and then take a bus east to Navy Pier.

When I fly out of Midway (Southwest Airlines), I use the Orange Line. If I'm flying any other airline it's probably O'Hare, so I use the Blue Line. I've only been on the Green Line once and I rarely use the Purple Line. The Yellow Line just goes to Skokie, IL, so I've never used it. I think the Red Line and the Blue Line are the only ones that go underground, so that's kinda fun.

Anyway, that's the mass transit life. Doesn't it sound fun??
