A man carrying, among other things, a loaded gun and a fake security badge was arrested yesterday by police at the Central/Lake Green line stop. The badge had a fake business and phone number listed on it.

OHHHHH NOOOOOOO! Gas prices have risen to $3 a gallon in some Chicago areas (if you're interested in betting on gas prices go here). Is anyone surprised?
