Riding The CTA Is About To Be An Artful Experience!

Next time you walk into one of the Red Line stations on the North Side, don’t be surprised if you see some fancy looking artwork hanging on the walls. The CTA plans on displaying the artwork soon, guess it’s their way of adding a little culture to your train ride. Almost 300 people sent stuff in and seven artists were chosen to have their stuff exhibited at the stations. Here’s the weird thing though, only four of the artists are from Chicago! Don’t you think they ALL should be from Chicago? I mean, the stuff is going to be hanging in CTA stations!

Coming To A Red Line Station Near You….

Some very cool artwork is going to be popping up at several CTA redline stations. I would first have to ask if it’s a waste of money because of gangbangers and graffiti artists getting their hands on it. Let’s hope people will have some respect for someone’s art and not cover it over with their own!

Boston Bruins v Chicago Blackhawks - Game One

Think Your The Biggest Blackhawks Fan? Think Again!

I just came across this story about a guy that just attended his 2,152nd Blackhawks home game last night! If that seems like a lot, it is! That’s every home game since 1966! Who is this HUGE ‘Hawks fan? His name is Bob Gertenrich. He’s a retired restaurant worker that never got married (Ah ha! Maybe that’s how he’s been able to go to every game! ) How committed is he? Even when his mother died in 1991, he still went to the game!

It runs through this weekend at the Oriental Theater Downtown. My wife and daughter went to see it last night, and were still home in time to watch two periods of the Blackhawks game!
