Hats off to the calligraphy aficionado who works at the Chicago Brown Line stop. I know I'm a cheese, but I love when people make things nicer than they need to be.

That's awesome,
If you're going to make a sign like that you might as add a little personal flair to it.
Bonus points for using the word "shall."
This sign is significant of serious boredom, which worries me coming from an employee of the CTA - an agency which is supposed to be in the middle of a budget crisis and arguing that any cost-cutting measures would cripple their service without a fare hike to accompany it.
But, points for the red ink on "restroom".
You couldn't make something this ridiculous up! What is the chance that this guy spends his Friday nights playing World of Warcraft?
CTA employees are required to sit in a box all day in a uniform taking queries from irate customers, then when a sign of individuality leaks out, they're subjected to speculative hyperbole on the nature of their private lives?
I know this sounds dick-ish, but come on, I'd take this sign over the loud robot voice announcer anyday.
Signed, Jesus.
+ mrdeltoid,
I like to think that this employee considers their CTA box to be their own personal little Philippines.
I would imagine this person likes the Renaissance Faire. Ye olde sign art the bestest sign ever.
Maybe he's actually named Douglas MacArthur.
But this would work better if he worked at a stop where he had to walk through a flooded station & get his pants legs wet.
I wish they would have signed it:
"This too shall pass...."
hold on! where did the CTA give him/her the money for a different-colored pen?! WASTE!
I noticed a "no smoking" sign in the same calligraphy at the Fullerton stop just yesterday morning.. So it might just be someone who works along the brown line.
I'll take a snap of it tomorrow morning and send it.
Argue to your heart's content about the waste of dollars or time.. but I noticed it, and that's what signs are supposed to make you do. And I appreciated it.
