Wow.
I was just guessing randomly, and then gave up....
More than 100 people mobbed the intersection of North Milwaukee and Damen Avenues around 9:15 a.m., jostling for position on the packed sidewalk after a conductor cleared the platform at the Damen stop. Some commuters sat for more than 30 minutes while a southbound train sat idle at the station.
The few taxicabs that passed through the intersection were already taken, prompting exasperated screams from those trying to get downtown.
That's the center of Wicker Park.
Exasperated screams, huh?
Good thing all those passengers weren't trapped in a train with a cougar....
fun Tommyrot!

Yeah, they had the intesection almost shut down around the Grand/Milwaukee stop about an hour ago. Cab driver said the problem started around Division, so whatever it is, it's growing.
Wow. I thought I was pretty hot with 13 out of 34.
I got the first 5 right just off the bat. I thought I could do no wrong.
Then the Font Game schooled me in how deluded I was.
Well, they're turning Southbound trains around at the Damen stop and sending them back North to O'Hare, so now that's where everyone has to get off....
98% of what I do is in Times New Roman or Ariel. Or, you know, I'm writing a query where the font is not applicable.
yeah. this is probably what took up a good chunk of the math calculation storage area up in my brain.

eta: because I'm obviously not storing the Chicago Manual or On Writing Well anymore...
