“How far Halsted has come. I vividly recall a good month in about ’85 or ’86 waiting for the 8 Halsted every morning, where there was an old VW Carmen Ghilla (sp?) literally wrapped around a street light pole. Every day, another ticket, but nobody ever towed the car. It got to be a bit of a running joke, as one might imagine, as it started to look like a computer completely plastered with post-it notes.”
