I’ve been to Chicago exactly once in my life, for just about exactly 24 hours, ten years ago. And while I did ride the CTA, it wasn’t the Red Line. Why was I instantly able to recognize this as Chicago? Rosemont Station on the Blue Line was my hotel stop, and that’s where I thought this was until I googled Garfield Station.
