Waiting for the RTA

Over a month ago I went to the Crystal Lake City Hall to file a Freedom of Information request.

I decided to apply for my free train (not likely, I’ll ever take a Pace bus) ride card at the same time.

First, I found out that the free ride had a cost.

$2 for the photo.

I just cleaned out the front seat of my car and found the March 3rd application.

It reminded me that I have not received my card yet.

Maybe the new member of the RTA Board appointed by McHenry County Board Chairman Ken Koehler, Al Jourdan, will inquire as to why it has taken so long.

Not that I’m likely to use the card in the near future.

The last time I took the train my sister and niece and grandniece and nephew went to Des Plaines to eat in the Choo-Choo Restaurant.

It was right down the street from where my father’s Barley and Malt Institute used to be located on the second floor of the corner building which used to be the Masonic Temple (northwest of the movie theater).
