transportation tips for bandom-inclined folks
This isn't going to make a lick of difference, I know, mainly because a) nobody who this applies to will read this and b) it's not quite so relevant anymore (well...maybe).
1. Chicago's CTA transportation system is colloquially the 'L' (and the quotations are official, though cumbersome), not the El. Only 12 miles of tracks are actually underground; it is not a subway, though two lines briefly run underground. Pretty much no one calls it the subway, and people who do are from out of town.
2. You are only capable of flying on a red-eye flight about once a day per destination. Taking a late flight from an eastern time zone to a western time zone (say, Chicago - LA or London - New York) is not a red-eye, as you gain time. Red-eyes happen when you fly from a western to eastern time zone late at night. Leaving LA at 11:30 PM and arriving in Chicago at roughly 5:00 AM is a red-eye, as most people are then required to continue on with their day on very reduced sleep (unless they planned for an extra day to sleep). In conclusion, red-eyes are one way.
Thank you.
