2006_06_smokey_blueline1.jpgFriend (and former coeditor!) of Chicagoist, Margaret Lyons, sends us these photos of a smoke-filled Blue Line Clark/Lake station. She says her train car was filled with smoke on the morning commute and that it smelled horrible. Now that's how her hair and clothes will be smelling all day. Ew. That's worse than the smoke smell when you come home from the bar, we're sure. At least when you come home stinky from the bar you pass out soon after.

Anyone know what the dealio is? We can't find anything online, and of course the conductors weren't saying anything to the passengers this morning when it happened.
