i used to get off at the La Vergne stop on the BNSF commuter train.

then i moved to the north side and got off on Damen on the Ravenswood line.

25. you're lucky
you're not that far from an INCREDIBLE italian store near grand and harlem that has the best deli in the city.

north side of the street, two blocks north of grand, forget what it's called. it's the place with the extraordinarily crowded parking lot.

28. Actually, I've never been there, due to the crowded parking lot.
But I haven't lived out this way but a year. I can't remember what it's called either, because I avoid Harlem as much as I can due to the sucky traffic on it.

6. 6th/7th St. It's a straight shot to Chinatown and to my office down 7th.
But I have to contend with buses that have to stop, then turn left across three lanes, in about 300 feet. :grr:

7. Gee, that would be the ONLY place you can get off in downtown Cleveland: Tower City.
What an astounding 20th-century public transporation system we have! Who needs multiple train stops in a city where the weather sucks the balls of the dead 7-8 months out of the year? I mean, walking in snow from Triskett to W 150th when I could have taken the large amount of busses that passed by was no big deal. I don't REALLY have to go anywhere outside driving radius on weekends; 15-20 minutes between trains isn't THAT long a wait. Plus I imagine having to drive 20 minutes to the nearest train station doesn't defeat the environmental reasoning behind using public transportation THAT much.
