God Bless the CTA

For those of you from Chicago you realize how totally crazy the CTA is right now. For a city this big we have a long way to go in becoming the “Green City”, the mayor wants us to become. We have virtually no recyclying program which is a crime, and the public transit leaves a lot to be desired. The extreme version of this is the picture I took last night while riding my bike. I biked through a cloud of smoke and looked over to see a fire on the CTA tracks. It looks horrible but I don’t think anyone was hurt. I am sure the blue line was shutdown for a while though. It must have been a nightmare.
