CHICAGO HEAVY RAIL
Lake and Wells, 1982 |
|
|
The year was 1982. I had
just driven from the Pacific Northwest to Chicago under continuously beautiful springtime skies.
And I hadn't used a freeway anywhere between eastern Washington and
the outskirts of
Rockford, Illinois.
Then
suddenly I was in Chicago riding the "L," the first time in many
years, marveling anew
at tracks crossing above the city's dense urban core, and routes diverging and joining.
This view again looks west over Lake St., and it is the older tower
that appears toward the right. |
