You remember the scene in the Blues Brothers where the El is going by, well, I have a funny story about that.
We had just bought the house, and we used to live on the second floor. You saw the El from our back kitchen windows. There's a big tree in the back, so the windows were blocked from the neighbors, but you could seen the El out the back window, and the windows in the back porch.
One Sunday morning, I get up, wander into the kitchen (butt naked) to make coffee. I'm standing with my back to windows, filling up the coffee maker, etc.
I suddenly have the eerie feeling of being watched. I turn around, and the El is stopped outside my windows. They're doing work on the tracks!
I guess the folks in that car got a show to go al ong with their El ride!
