Fun Facts about where you live

The West half of our state is all marshy and moist and such filled with mountains, and the Eastern half is really dry and flat.
 
They filmed a Gieco commercial in my town 2 years ago, And it shows one of the most iconic parts of our town.

The Chicago Transit Authority has kept a secret from the city for 6 years. A massive Train Station was revealed to be located deep beneath Block 37 but is just an abandoned project and there's no connecting tunnels or anything. Just one known way into the underground station only a few people know.

When you think about it, it seems really cool and something you want to explore, but it doesn't really have lighting, it's under the city and not many know of it. There's some pictures I may put up later, but I just found this to be one of the most interesting things about Chicago.
