These signs come from Underground Signs, the official manufacturer for replica subway platform signs in Chicago, Boston, and New York City. These 72" x 9" signs are the same size and quality as the ones on Chicago's 'L' platforms. We also have vinyl wall decals for certain stops! #transittees #wickerpark #chicago #nyc #boston #cta #mta #mbta #urban #helvetica (at Transit Tees)

Why that tell-tale orange is becoming history, plus whether the city will choose to go darker or light up like Disney World. Full story: http://wbez.is/1PvKLYn

I have been working hard on some projects so I haven’t been around a lot. I currently have been on a few trips my latest trip was Chicago. We took 11 people down to Chicago and enjoyed our time there. While we were there we were invited in to a shop called Transit Tees and this store was amazing just to shop in. Things are well priced, but then we were shown a tour. Which was even like an icing on the cake event. This tour was well worth our trip down there. If you are interested check out his online shop or go down to his in person store! It is amazing! Transit Tees

There are some lines you just don't cross in Brazil. This picture of two women embracing on a train platform has gone crazy viral -- but it's not for the reason you might think.

New Project: Draft Amtrak Passenger Rail as Subway Map for 2015

At the end of April 2015, Amtrak’s Hoosier State service between Chicago and Indianapolis is scheduled to be discontinued — the first complete loss of a service since I created my “Amtrak as Subway Map” way back in 2010. Over the years, I’ve been pretty vigilant to changes to the Amtrak network — adding and deleting stations as required, extending the Downeaster line to Brunswick and the Northeast Regional to Norfolk — but a change of this magnitude gives me the chance to take a completely fresh look at this project and rework everything from scratch, instead of just tweaking the old diagram again. Let’s face it – I’ve learned a lot of new skills and tricks in the intervening years!

Read more about this project, and view a large (4000px-wide) version of the map over on my design blog! Comments on this initial draft are welcome, as always.

Stumping for Anton Cermak in the 22nd ward, probably near 22nd (later renamed Cermak Ave) and Kedzie, 1931, Chicago.

Evidently the hot topic of the day was the upcoming World’s Fair in 1933.

Cermak would go to win the election, but die in office in 1933 as a result of a gunshot wound received in Miami during an assassination attempt on FDR.
