This is obviously the first salvo of the mole people's invasion. If Bush hadn't sent all our boys over to Iraq by now, he totally could have dealt with those squinty-eyed bastards a lot sooner...

Nope. It's open. You can enter from the east side of the station.

Half the street is gone. It's pretty crazy.

I zipped by this on the Metra this morning and really, it's huge. For as big as all the news reports/pictures make it look, it seemed even bigger in person. Curious why the water wasn't shut off until 7am when this happened at 1:30am? Obviously it takes some time, but... 5.5 hours?
