CTA has an L station on Western Avenue on the South Side, which is one of those along the Orange…read moreLine. It goes between The Loop and Midway. Of course it's not in a terrific location, but it's mostly clean and safe. Lots of busses to get onto from here. There's a large area for shelter while waiting for one. A better than expected location, and it's usually pretty fast coming or going. It serves the Orange Line. The station is located in Gage Park. Even though it has a bad history, it's still an improving area. This is at 49th and Western. Best about this is how fast it is to get through here. This is the one that goes all the way to Midway, the other Chicago airport that gets unappreciated. Getting there is a lot faster. Stops like this are one of the reasons. It has fewer, meaning the trains come a lot more often. This station is pretty clean for as busy as it gets, and it doesn't have a bad smell. Getting to Midway is convenient from here. It's only a few stops away, and if you're getting off here there's lots of busses to take you places. There's usually not a long wait for trains.

I must say, I am pleasantly surprised…read more Before this trip I had only taken the Orange line a few stops, usually in the Loop to catch a Brown line train. This morning however I took it to catch my flight to Midway. Why was I impressed? The train was clean (relatively speaking), b.o. free, and it didn't hit any notable slow zones. It was fairly empty when I rode it, but I think that's because all sensible people were in bed getting some shut eye. I reserve the right to change my opinion in the future, I mean it is the CTA and all. This ride could've been an anomaly. We'll see how I feel on my return ride home.

We took Cermak-McCormick after visiting the Blues Heaven Foundation a few blocks away. We were headed to Chicago Music Exchange on N Lincoln. Our route was Cermak-McCormick to Clark/Lake, where we transferred to the Brown line for the Paulina train stop. We were at the train station on a hot summer day, but fortunately there was some breeze on the first/street level of the station. There was a few spots to hide from the sun on the platform. The station is clean and is clearly video monitored. Plus, there are some cool cartoon illustrations to checkout on the platform while waiting for your train.

The menu is very interesting and the cook is excellent Cook. The menu is excellent food clean is thoroughly cooked Just one suggestion at this point. Please cut down on the salt. Your vegetable shouldn't be salty. The Greens are overly salty. I could tell The Yams ingredients are genuine because normally you can taste the ginger or the cinnamon and you can also tell if there's honey or maple syrup and there's no butter flavored neither so maybe it was a can yam so that's not good. It's not good at all. The fish is superb. I can say all the meats are excellent. It's just a side dishes aren't genuine. The side dishes are canned goods and bagged frozen vegetables And last, but not the least, make sure that the hostess understands the order properly My experience was I ordered , I ordered a 3 course meal plus two separate sides. Instead I received my 2 separate sides inside of the actual meal plate and my meal sides in a container It was corrected once I went back into the restaurant, but who wants to leave and have to come back to get it corrected especially when you're on parking meter.

I walk through CTA Kedzie area often whether it be walking to the fitness center (Breakthrough…read moreFamilyPlex) or catching the CTA train itself. From what I have noticed it is actually safe, but that does not mean that I would not keep alert while in it even as an African American. CTA Kedzie is one of the high traffic areas in East Garfield Park due to everyone coming in-and-out, and also because of the liqa sto (One Eleven Food & Liquors) being posted about 100 meters from the station. I'm crossing my fingers that 'One Eleven Food & Liquors' gets torn down and becomes the parking lot for 'The Hatchery' once 'The Hatchery' has been completed, but that's a whole different topic. However, if you have ever been to this area you will understand what type of traffic it brings. The worst you will encounter in this area are drunks, druggies and drug dealers which stems from the liqa sto being a hit, but other than that it is just people trying to carry out their day whether that be going to school, work, or home via the train or bus. At night the traffic calms down, but that does not mean you stop being alert because it is pretty dark in this area once you get off that train and exit the CTA stop itself. Thomas G

It's a great stop in the midst of a neighborhood of people trying to do the best they can with that they were given. It is a crossroads of kids coming from and going to school, with a few restaurants thrown in the mix. It's actually a very safe area and there is a Garfield Outdoor Market on the south-eastern corner of the street on Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings that has great produce. It's in the location of the soon-to-be-built "Hatchery", which is a food service small business incubator that has some very substantial community resource behind it.

There's a lot of cool ethnic restaurants. Good place to check out some places to eat around here. It serves the Pink Line. This is in the happening neighborhood known as Pilsen. Close to here is Douglass Park and a few others. There's also plenty of Mexican restaurants. It's pretty quiet for a station, compared to others, but it's clean. The trains seem like they take a little while longer between but it's not that long of a time to be honest. Here in the actual station there's also a convenience counter. In case you need to get anything, you can get it from here. This has some overpriced drinks and snacks.

*****when service exceeds satisfaction ****…read more About a week ago or so, I actually think it was Monday or Tuesday, I rode the #66 and had the wonderful opportunity to meet operator Dixon, badge 76405, and was shocked and blown away by his demeanor. Not only was he attentive to the rules of the road. But his level of hostility and consideration was beyond expected. Per my observation, not only did he acknowledge every passenger with a greeting upon boarding, but as they exited he wished them a good night and said be safe. My sole purpose for writing this review is because as human beings we're programmed to focus on and point out the negative especially a negative experience. So I deemed it necessary to reciprocate that by expressing my gratitude and not only should I acknowledge this young man, but your organization (CTA) should as well. His service exceeded my expectation and was beyond satisfactory.
