Yeah, express trains to the airports. In case you haven't seen, CTA is now going to rely on a private operator to roll the airport express out. That will NEVER happen.

True enough. I'm usually staggering off the L and down Adams by 3am.

The Loop obviously has residents has a nightlife. I've taken advantage of both myself (ahem). But it's hardly anymore of a 24 hours a day population base than anywhere else in the city. It's not like all those folks are out and about and whooping it up at 3 a.m.

Let's not get too spurious about the after hours population of the Loop. Plenty of people live in and around the Loop--we just have to go elsewhere at night and on weekends because nothing's open. I say bring back the old days of drugs, prostitutes, and strip clubs in the Loop! A few scattered adult book stores are just sad reminders of the good ol' days, right?

Won't everyone just stop worrying? Come on, they'll open up a Starbucks there, and in no time it'll be perfect! Just wait.

They should have turned it into a garbage dump. They are: "CTA Super Station"
