You know what would be fun? If someone did like a YouTube series where they review dining/restaurants that are within a 10 minute walk of a Metra stop. Every episode can focus on a new Metra stop. That would go a long way to really hammer home the idea of the "Chicagoland Region"
Star:Line ChicagoWhat good transit does is simultaneously make a region bigger (increases the number of places you can easily get to without dragging a car along) and smaller (takes less time to make trips between wherever and wherever). Fast and frequent transit is what we need to finally unlock Chicagoland.
