312chic: a Chicagoan back as a tourist

After spending the first 24 years of my life in Chicago and the last two in Denver, I am ready to come back. After I moved, I realize I didn't really get to experience the city due to school and work. Here, I will document my journey back as I get to know my hometown by discovering new places and learning about old ones.

CTA Person #3: I’m sorry I almost read your text messages. I didn’t. I swear!

CTA Person #4: Why are you reading my text messages?!?!

CTA Person #5: um…..

CTA: When are we getting the new trains in the Blue line?!
