Want to get stuck on the CTA? Buy a public transit pin
Want to get stuck on the CTA? Buy a public transit pin

Do you love the CTA so much that you want to shout your love from the top of the nearest mountaintop? Are you so enamored with the train-and-bus system that you'd like to take it on a date to Great America, where the two of you could wear matching T-shirts and get caricatures drawn of yourselves while eating an Elephant Ear?
Well, if a mountain is too far and it's still a bit too chilly for Great America, here's a way to rep for the CTA. The good people over at Carfreechicago.com sent me a note about buttons you can buy with "L" stop names on them.
Check 'em out, yo, at http://www.carfreechicago.com/store and then let me know if you're going to get one. I've got my eye on the 35th pin.
