Excerpt
The Chicago train, known as the "L" because it is elevated, takes one on a revealing trip from the northside, near Evanston, to the center of the city downtown. Unlike the well-known glamour and excitement of Michigan Avenue and the beauty and serenity of the lakefront, the L shows a grim, gloomy part of Chicago. Yet the L, many of its riders, and the surrounding environment provide a necessary image for completely understanding Chicago.
