Just ran across Chicago Bloggers, a blog directory that organizes blogs according to their writer's proximity to CTA/Metra rail stations.  Looks like I'm one of 30 people living near the Loyola Red Line stop.  Kind of a cool experiment in social networking. 

While we're on the topic of transit, check out Chicago-L.org.  It's an excellent site dedicated to the history of public transportation in Chicago.  The transit nerd in me loves the fact that this site provide everything I ever wanted (and couldn't possibly care) to know about Chicago's beloved (and often despised) El system.
