Ok, enough hating on the CTA. This post is actually in honor of the closing of a cool local business. Erik Kittlaus will print you a t-shirt with whatever L stop you want on it, but only if you order before Sunday.

I love these shirts because so many L stops and bus lines have such an emotional cache that comes with them. Every dot on the redline is a favorite bar, an old job or an ex-girlfriend's house.

So what's your most important stop on the CTA? What bus or train stop has the best story or holds the most memories for you?

I can't see the blue line without thinking about leaving town.

Today's Podcast is in the previous post. Next podcast tomorrow, 8:00ish.

Public Transit and the Inevitable Fair Hike

A Critic's Critic

Nathan Rabin

Nathan Rabin is head writer for the Onion A. V. Club. Yeah, he's pretty much cooler than the guy in ninth grade who could already grow side burns. He's a critic who writes about movies, does interviews and writes hip hop reviews that melt my face off.

Today's podcast is on Nathan Rabin and his interview with the Ghost Face Killah.
