Bla bla bla none of these matters if Chicago can't get rid of the crime city reputation




Why isn't Chicago a more prominent place? Big city, beautiful architecture, top-tier sports teams, a solid subway system, and one of the world's biggest airports. People called it Second City for years. The Chicago Bulls were absolutely dominant during the 90s, and three of the 2000s biggest names (Kanye, Obama, and Oprah) rose to fame there as well. But the cultural spotlight has moved away from Chicago. I hear about cities like LA, SF, NYC, Miami, Dallas, Austin, and even Nashville much more. There's got to be a good story here, and I'm curious to hear it.

The Northern Illinois Transit Authority begins its work this year with a mission to integrate fares, schedules, and service between Metra and CTA. It needs an early, high-impact win. The Metra Electric South Chicago Branch is a great place to start. hsrail.org/blog/how-nita-…
