“I was riding the Chicago L at 6:30 in the morning on a Sunday. The weather was cool with no rain or humidity. A friend-- we'll call him "Joe"-- had pointed me in the right direction, so I was now on the Blue Line "to Forest Park" at Damen. I was headed to the loop so I could switch over to the Orange Line for Midway.
The sun was up, but was hidden behind the long row of buildings that stood there”
