That looks like Mayor Lightfoot in the foreground.

Traveled through O’Hare for the first time in about 15 years. Was depressing seeing the empty newspaper bins that no one bothers to fill any more in Terminal 2. And none of the power outlets seemed to work either. At least it looked like the ones in the more recently remodeled Terminal 1 were working after my return flight.

I thought about going downtown to ride that train. Ironically, the thing that held me back was what a hassle the Blue Line is right now with the construction going on.
