Learning the ropes of paying for a CTA bus ride from one of the drivers
2012-02-02 17:09:00 I’ve been on a CTA bus maybe four or five times since moving to Chicago. And every time, I’ve been unsure about how to go about paying for the trip. Do I need all quarters? Will people behind me in line to get on the bus get mad if they see me staring at the... Read more »

Forget The Segway, Ride A Trikke!
2012-01-17 13:25:00 From Coolest Gadgets: I suppose that the Segway industry really has yet to take off, but I like the idea of personal mobility.

2011: Flat Year, Wild Ride
2012-01-06 18:35:00 The year ended with the S&P 500 almost exactly where it began, but we doubt many investors have forgotten the wild ride in between. Defensive sectors were the 2011 winners. Utilities, Consumer Staples, and Health Care filled their traditional role as the place to be in troubled times if one must stay in stocks. Treasury bonds were an even better refuge, despite the historic S&P downgrade of the U.S. credit rating in August. With the 2011 books now closed, what about 2012? We haven’t seen as many annual forecasts this year. This is just as well, since the predictions rarely prove very useful. Their main value is to provide entertainment. The Federal Reserve’s next policy meeting on January 24-25 . . . → Read More: 2011: Flat Year, Wild Ride

Sarah Palin Clueless on Paul Revere's Ride (Video)
2011-06-04 21:01:00 In New England, it's "one if by land, two if by sea." (And on the Patriots,Tom Brady to Wes Welker six if by air). At least that's what we were taught in school. You remember the story of Paul Revere from elementary school? That whole "the redcoats are coming" bit. Sarah Palin does not. Or she remembers it as Revere somehow warning the British, instead of the American colonists. And what he was warning them about was our "freedom" (whatever that means in this context) and the second amendment guaranteeing our right to bear arms (even though the Constitution wasn't drafted until more than a decade after his ride....

This 'Celebrity Apprentice' is one entertaining, crazy ride
2011-05-09 23:44:00 Meat Loaf the singer, NOT this all-American food, is one of the final four contestants on "Celebrity Apprentice."Whatever you may think of Donald Trump, this is one heck of a good "Celebrity Apprentice" season. The characters have been, well, characters. Gary Busey, Meat Loaf and Nene-what's-her-name (from one of the Reality Housewives shows) brought (bring, in the case of Meat Loaf who has now made it to the final four) all the drama and entertainment value one could wish in this TV genre. Busey is either a genius or channels alien beings. Nene was her own worst enemy on the show and walked off in a huff this last outing, leaving her teammates down a player while wondering where the...

2011-03-31 02:28:00 I heard "STOP! STOP THE BUS! HER FOOT IS STUCK!"The bus stopped. A tall blonde 20-something woman got on and, as she swiped her card, said to the bus driver "My foot was in the door when you started pulling away!" and "It's not funny!"Then, she got on the phone to her boyfriend/mom/sister. "Yeah, my calf was halfway in the door when he started driving away."Thank G0d ~1/ for the woman who alerted the bus driver2/ that the bus driver stopped (and, apparently, got a kick out of the whole thing)3/ that I didn't have to witness someone get dragged by a bus. That would've really put a damper on the day. Thank you for reading Stop and Blog the...

Hitchin' a CS ride
2011-01-18 05:20:00 I was fortunate enough to experience yet another unselfish act of kindness through couchsurfing. I went home to Madison for the weekend and found out that there was no local bus traveling to the point that Megabus would be dropping me off. I quickly became Debby Downer!There was also no one who could pick me up, so I decided to post a message about it on the Madison message board. A lovely woman responded saying that she lived nearby and would be happy to pick me up and drive me to my son's apartment. Wow; it was my lucky day!Since she isn't able to host right now, she helps out in other ways such as offering rides, etc. So, I...

Ride With Radish For One Seed Chicago 2011
2011-01-17 16:47:00 Politics is a dirty sport, and politics don't get dirtier than in Chicago. "Vote early and vote often" is a phrase you hear said a lot during an election cycle. Most of the time it is said tongue-in-cheek, but you know that deep down some people really mean it. As someone who works on NeighborSpace's One Seed Chicago project I try to remain as neutral as possible about my favorite seed when I'm in public. Residents of Chicago are suppose to choose their favorite seed of the three candidates. The seed with the most votes wins and is crowned the official One Seed Chicago that year. It is an exercise in democracy, every Chicagoan gets a vote and every vote...
Chicago No Pants Subway Ride 2011

With out further adieu, here is this year's video from the Chicago No Pants Subway Ride 2011. Question for the comments, would you take off your pants in public? ...
No "no pants subway ride" for me today
2011-01-09 19:16:00 It's a sad day for me, as today is one of the days I most look forward to in the new year. It's called the "no pants subway ride". For those of you who aren't familiar, a group of crazy people get together to ride the red line train in their underwear. A bunch of couchsurfers and friends do it every year and it has always been cold, but a blast.I have been sick all weekend; therefore, it's not in my best interest to venture out in 27 degree weather in my boxers. I buy "special" boxers every year for this sacred event, so I guess I will save the skull boxers and hat for next year.I decided to rent...

July: For the first time in many years, July 3 was just another day for the CTA, instead of the busiest day of the year. Chicago fireworks were moved from July 3 to three different sites on July 4. The CTA won federal funding for a Bus Rapid Transit route to connect Union Station and Navy Pier. A motorwoman told a passenger to get his feet off the seat: "The Green Line is no Holiday Inn!" The state finally came through with some funding for CTA capital projects. I shared some helpful tips on how to spot a phone theft in the works....
CTA's penny ride tradition continues on New Year's Eve
2010-12-16 14:00:00 It's not too early to be thinking about your New Year's Eve plans. In fact, at some of the more popular venues, it may be too late. Whatever you do, make sure the CTA is a part of your plans, and leave the car at home. After all, who wants to spend New Year's Day in jail on a DUI charge.The CTA is doing its thing again to make taking public transit the only way to go on New Year's Eve by offering penny fares again. For 25 years, the CTA has offered rides that night for just a penny. And really many operators just wave people on through. And it's not worth it for the CTA to reprogram train...

CTA roundup: Dead seniors ride on viaducts that aren't as bad as we th
2010-11-30 14:00:00 Here are a few CTA news items from the last week. Dead seniors still riding for free. At least their friends and relatives are, according to a joint Fox Chicago News and Better Government Association investigation. From the report: "RTA spokesperson Diane Palmer says the agency recently completed a review of more than 400,000 seniors ride free cards. And found 3,000 of the cardholders had died." And the RTA is acknowledging the problem. As many of us here have said, dump the free rides for senior citizens and go back to half-price rides.Maybe those viaducts aren't so bad after all. One of the items on my CTA holiday wish list is to "Repair crumbling viaducts, especially north of Montrose." Now...
