What Chicago is talking about this week:
It's CTA Doomsday as the "transit authority who called wolf" did not succeed in getting someone to step in and save the day (as has happened how many times before?) -- leading to 20% cutback in bus service and 9% less El traffic! [For those Smallville fans (warning -- eighth season spoiler alert), it's like how Chloe (representing the body politic) always made sure to protect Davis Bloome (CTA leadership) from his destiny for as long as she could, episode after episode ... but ultimately to no avail (kind of because he was signed for the whole season and they were waiting for the finale). Doomsday was still manifested irrespective of the love she tried to offer him. Of course if we could get Black Kryptonite and somehow separate the issues, then maybe Sam Witwer could survive and lead the unions to a resolution before Jimmy Olsen's older brother Jimmy stabs him with a lead pipe in the watchtower?] Anyway, as someone who lives RIGHT next to the train tracks, is it so wrong for me to be OK with the 9% reduction in the rattling rumpus that wakes me up during rush hours or causes me to play the TV on the old-man-hard-of-hearing setting?
