Utility shoes. Bought on sale for about $40 back in June and worn almost every day since, for average daily cost of about 38 cents. I do have decent shoes, for when required.

Adding still another bureaucracy is not reform. The only reference in the article is "toward a new Northern Illinois Transit Authority will oversee the Chicago Transit Authority, Metra and Pace." The very next paragraph refers to the continuing existence of the RTA. Fiefdoms in perpetuity.

NITA is just another level of bureaucracy, protecting their fiefdoms in lieu of actual reform. Remember when the RTA was pitched as a big reform? Same shell game.

...scaffolding gone at former Rock Bottom Brewery morphing into F1 racing attraction, Wednesday bridge lift, four sailboats. Winter's coming.

Thanks!

Where are these? Is the sculptor ID’d?
