[QUOTE="airwalkrr, post: 4983601, member: 12460"] FYI, less than 5% of Chicago's current rail system is underground, so they really don't have much of a subway, especially where you guys are presently located (in a suburb). Public transportation is mainly by bus or the "L," which is slang for the Elevated Rapid Transit train. However, since this is an alternate reality, we can just assume that a fairly recent underground transit line has been constructed in the Orland Park area. Voda Vosa, I am assuming in your post that when you said you were headed for the market you mean the mall on the northeast corner, since much of the smaller shopping center to the west would be in various states of ruin.
