7.4 mi•East Garfield Park

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

This stop deserves some credit for being located, through no decision of itself, in one of the most…read moreforlorn, dangerous looking corners of hotspot-city. However, it's not any of these things. 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.

"Harlem Avenue" is a LONG road, reaching the north end in Glenview and Extending all the all down…read moreto the southwestern suburbs of Frankfort and Tinley Park. CTA #90 (Harlem) bus doesn't provide the entire Harlem tour, but it provides nice sceneries of Norwood Park/Dunning/Montclare/Galewood neighborhoods that belong to the city of Chicago. Since Harlem, or Route 43, is a far-west end, north-south running road, #90 also passes through Norridge, Harwood Heights, Elmwood Park, Oak Park, and River Forest that are villages bordering the city. #90 southbound begins at the CTA Harlem Blue Line station (O'Hare branch) in Norwood Park. I guess the first major point of interest is the Halrem-Irving Plaza (HIP). This mall anchors retailers such as Kohl's, Carson's and Target. Other standalone shops can also be located in Norridge Commons. At this time, passengers can make connections to CTA #78 (Montrose) or CTA #80 (Irving Park) busses near the shopping mall. Now look at the opposite direction from the mall. "Mr. Beef" has some of the best Italian beef sandwich in the city. "Pasta Fresh," a tiny mom-and-pop shop (cash-only) near the intersections of Grace and Harlem, can give you a taste of authentic Italian home-style cuisine. My recommendation will be their amazing pesto sauce. I not only pour it on pasta, but also "drench" my omelet with a generous amount of it! As far as grocery stores go, "Angelo Caputo's Fresh Markets," on the northwest corner of Harlem and Grand (in Elmwood Park) can help you execute one-stop grocery shopping. Continue our southbound journey and arrive at North Avenue. If you would like another Italian beef sandwich, get it at Johnnie's in Elmwood Park (cash-only). This time you can also order a cup of Italian ice to go with it. We are also at the south-end terminal stop in downtown Oak Park. The bus route will end near the CTA Harlem Green Line station. There are festivals and concert series on Lake St. in Oak Park throughout the year. I'm a city gal, but Oak Park has voted one the best suburbs to live and to raise a family in the U.S. By the way, the green line El takes you to the loop and south-side of Chicago. #90 isn't very rush-hour friendly since frequently drivers utilize Harlem as the alternative instead of using the interstates. Discounting those traffic uncontrollables, I'm quite satisfied with their performance.

I hated the fact that I had to take public transportation from Edison Park on this bus to…read moreLincolnwood/Skokie for a previous job because it just took a lot longer than driving (but I didn't have a car at the time). Fortunately, that bus ran late. THEN, at the end of 2008, they changed the hours and it only runs until 7pm on Saturdays! (None on Sunday.) This really makes it difficult for me to plan evening activities in the city on the weekend.... BOO.

4.6 mi•Jefferson Park

This small, unknown Metra station (the bigger neighboring ones are the Jefferson Park and Norwood…read morePark stations) is tucked at the end of Austin Blvd, south of Northwest Highway, behind a factory building. It does make you wonder how Metra finds these little spots to make a station out of. Hmm, I guess I need a history lesson. Anyways, this station is rather unused; the last morning train is at 8:30AM which is rather "early" if you consider that the Metra trains stop at Norwood and Jefferson Park stations all the way until the afternoon. Pro tip: If you decide to go to happy hour and think you can get back on Gladstone Park, you best just plan ahead and park your car either of the aforementioned stations, because the last time the Metra trains stop at Gladstone Park is 9:30PM. Speaking of parking, there are about 6 street parking spots right next to the station. The close stretch on Northwest Highway is 2-hour parking only, and the rest you have to feed the parking meter. Your best bet is parking on Austin Blvd north of Northwest Highway, or the adjacent side streets parallel to Austin, such as Mason Ave. During the winter time, the station is hit-or-miss in terms of snow removal. The little "shelter" area is quite abandoned and unkept; where there were windows in the shelter, there are no more, so you just have 2 gaping holes leaving you freezing to death as the wind blows and howls at you. Overall, not one of the better Metra stations I have toured, but it serves its purpose for the neighboring commuter folks
