It's a sad thing that some Chicagoans never venture past their side of the city.
There's nothing worse than meeting a South Sider unfamilliar with the diverse ethnic restaurants -- such as the Ethiopian Diamond -- on the North Side's Broadway Street strip or meeting a North Sider who has never sampled South Side delicacies, such as Rainbow Cone or Top Notch beefburger. And those are just in the culinary categories.
But good news for those looking for a crosstown encounter and a little education. On Aug. 14, rail aficionados Tony Coppoletta and Graham Garfield will discuss the history of the South Side "L." Doors open at 6 p.m. and the event starts at 6:30 p.m. This is more a retrospective, not an activist event, so go if you want to get your learn on. I've talked to Tony several times and he is definitely a CTA scholar. See the full flyer here: Download history.doc Mark your calendars.

I read the newspaper yesterday but, what the people said about the bus driver is very rude to the customer. Do you think the customer is very rude to bus driver when they step on the bus.You should look at both side of story you post people stories in the newspaper or internet.
