Sheecago

Journey: thoroughly experience the yellow line, everything along the way, and get to Skokie.

Reflection: Very, very boring. Got off the train, walked around for less than an hour, got on the train back to Howard, took the purple line to Davis and spent the day reading at Northwestern, trying to glean a feeling of intelligence through osmosis from all the other studious college kids. For the time (too much) that I was in Skokie, I observed lots of Jewish stores, eateries and bagel markets. Not friendly to single girls walking around anchorless, direction-less and without conviction. The coolest thing was a car dealership that sold pimped out minivans for disabled people.

I need to stop taking the train to nondescript suburbs hoping for some epiphanic moment. It never happens.
