If you are a Chicagoan, or visited Chicago, you know what it is all about,

David Stone sent this unique boekie, with a long length poem

that he wrote about the "el" or "L" : the Chicago Transit Authority, the CTA,

...and I know all about it, my brother drove the "L", and subway for 35 years :-)

Thank you, David! This is special! 

That's My Kinda Town :-)
