In the absence of a flair system on lemmy yet, let’s try to make it easier to scan through posts by type in here by using tags:
Once, I arrived in Chicago by train, and had time to wander around before my bus departed for home. I walked around for a bit outside of Union Station, scanning the horizon and trying to locate the Sears Tower. (Yeah, I know it technically has a new name.) I couldn't find it. Then, I realized that I had to look up.
That is, the train station is literally 1 block from the tallest building in the city. I so wish that the Borealis train came through here; it'd be just as fast, cheaper, and so much more relaxing to head down to The Loop for the weekend. As it is, I almost never visit Chicago because getting there is such an enormous pain in the ass. (Contrary to the popular imagination, it is a nice place. I've only been murdered there, like, three times, tops.)
