Day 213



Happy Thanksgiving! (At least, the day this represents was Thanksgiving.) The above is how I watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade this year, courtesy of EarthCam. It was very much slower watching it in real time instead of with the cuts and performances of the official NBC production, but fun, nonetheless.

Last night (Wednesday), I was whisked away to Indiana by Cindy and deposited at this train station to take the South Shore commuter in to Chicago to visit Jody.




The station was very cute, but my favorite part was the "Train coming" sign. It works!

I imagined women dressed in their travel finery, stylish hats perched on their heads, Grace Kelly bags over their gloved hands, waiting to head into the city for a little shopping when the sign would light up.



Ah, the South Shore Line in its heyday.
