While out touring open houses I stopped at the Metra station on Lunt.
The colorful murals brighten up the area, but also hint at its troubled past. Murals are almost never a sign of a healthy community.

Can you get a refund date on a Chicago Metra ticket, even if it is going to expire on the 8th?
If so, how do you go about doing that?
You will need to contact one of the ticket offices because their web site is down.
Why did the Hyatt Regency at McCormick Place tell me not to leave the hotel at night?
Well, I spent the 4th of July weekend by visiting Downtown Chicago for the first time. I must say that I had awesome time walking around Grant Park, Millennium Park, and Burnham Park during those breezy afternoons.
However, I stayed at the Hyatt Regency at McCormick Place, which is bounded by Lake Shore Drive, Bronzeville, Chinatown, and the Loop.
While I was there, I wanted to grab some dinner at the nearby McDonald’s down the block. The people at the hotel front desk, however, advised me not to go outside after dark.
I thought the Near South Side was safe compared to other urban areas of Chicago. Especially since McCormick Place is near Soldier Field and Grant Park (Central Chicago), and nowhere near the South Side or the West Side (that area around the United Center = Yikes!).
Can it truly get sketchy on the streets of Chicago at night? Can’t someone take a nice stroll around Grant Park and Burnham Park after sunset?
Any thoughts would be appreciated, as I intend to pick a hotel that’s in a better location for my next trip to Chi-Town.
the mcdonalds that you wanted to go to was in bronzeville, or as we in Chicago know it as, black downtown. It is not the best of neighborhoods after dark.Walking around the area you were in is not the best place. Taking a cab downtown or further north to lincoln park, lakeview is nto bad and would actually have been very safe. the mcdonald’s, not safe
Where is the best place to eat near the magnificent mile in Chicago?
The Cheesecake Factory is awesome! If you want some real Chicago style pizza head over to Giordano’s. Here is the link to some other restaurants in the area..

how long does forever 21 express shipping take?
I ordered a few things from Forever 21 online for my birthday party 
The party’s on friday and I ordered on monday night. I ordered it on express so it would get here in time and everything. if you’ve ever ordered from them could you let me know how long the express usually takes. I’m in the Chicago suburbs if that helps location wise.
Well Im ireland and it took a week.
How do I cite a quote in Chicago style?
I went to the website but it only shows how to cite in the end of your article. I have a quote for ex: Mark expresses a similar emotion when he says that "music is the only way out".
Do I need to put ( ) in this sentence to cite within a paragraph? Or do I just cite til I’m done with the paper in the bottom?
I don’t really know much about it, but you can look at a guide here:
