Optics aren’t good, neither is eating ice cream behind plywood storefronts. I hear he likes waffle cones.

When that location was demolished and rebuilt about fifteen years ago, in a different architectural style, the 'L' car was removed. I suppose the Illinois Railway Museum got it, either whole or in pieces.<br /><br />It was one of the CTA's 4000 Series rapid transit cars, from the early 1920s. They were used in Evanston Express Service as late as 1973. My first wife and I used to stop in Crystal Lake, on the way to and from her grandmother's place in Woodstock, so that I could eat inside that car. So cool!Grizz 65https://www.blogger.com/profile/02892702223228764894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-80707409799371755172021-07-07T16:33:11.658-05:002021-07-07T16:33:11.658-05:00Just listened to Biden's speech on Channel 7. ...Just listened to Biden's speech on Channel 7. No bluster like the last guy, but lots of arguments and facts that should be compelling to suburban women voters otherwise mad because their soap opera was interrupted.

They resent the vaccines and the people who made, distribute and administer them because they're making Biden look good, so they must be bad.<br /><br />It must be nice to be an idiot with a binary worldview.

A lot of their residents are nice and friendly.<br /><br />Biden’s visits are good because we were warned by idiots that if he was elected he would attack and destroy suburbs (before attacking God) but he goes to suburbs peacefully, proving them wrong.J.
