    We don't have a metro station we do have a Metra station.

    I wish we had Metro station rules though when on an escalator.

    But many here in Chicago would some it doesn't matter what happens they will hate themselves and all that is right with this country.

    Bottom line we must take a stand and take back control of our country or swallow in apathey and be rules over.

    The north and north west side of Chicago is being over run with animals. At the same time, police officers are being sent to the south and west sides of Chicago. So some of you citizens who pay the highest property taxes in the city are being robbed by Tiny Dancer. The criminals are not stupid.

    Exactly Anon 6:03pm, why send the cops to the south and west sides? These animals head up north to do their robbing and raping. We need to profile every animal that heads north on the Red line. That train brings nothing but garbage up north.

    I've been going to this train station for years and have never seen a robbery. While this event is bad, overall it is a very safe train station.
