One nice thing about Chicago is the public transportation. OK, let me revise that: our public transportation blows but is superior to almost all other American cities anyways. I've been using the El, and to a far lesser extent, the buses and Metra, since my earliest high school days and I love not having a car. The ability to get almost anywhere in the city by public transit is a great luxury that I've been taking full advantage of for a very long time. Plus, in 11 years of constant ridership, I've collected a lifetime's worth of weird sights, stories, and experiences. Like the Devil Lady, or the fifty-pound rat, or the time the cops burst in guns drawn...

All that said, nobody should ever get into a conversation with me about the CTA, because I can rant for days on end...
