OMG THE COLOR IS PINK. The new color is Pink, who went wrong there. Pink is the new CTA line, for those who dont live in Chicago. Cta held a contest for kids to rename the new line. I chose Silver and it was the runner up. MANY people are not happy with this. Especaily the people who live in the tough town of Ceciro!
What do you think, do you like pink, silver or a different color? Do you agree with the new line color of pink?
Well, I don’t know.
Pink is not a nice color for a train even if it is only a name.
On the other hand. I read a story in an newspaper this week about some experiments with pink. It was like this: when asked, members of youth gangs in LA would not commit crimes if they had to appear in pink before the press and court. Peer pressure you know… Also, according to this article, a warden of a prison (in Texas I think) put inmates who had raped other inmates in pink coveralls during work detail outside the prison. Hardly any raping went on in that prison anymore.
So, if there is mucht vandalism and the vandals are caught, well put them in pink and let them clean or paint a pink cta-train, live on tv! Should be an interesting reality tvshow.

I can imagine the reaction when folks have to admit they must ride the PINK line to Cicero…As David Telesha said IT IS JUST WRONG[V], WRONG[}:)][:O]
Somebody’s idea of a bad joke[:-,][:-,][tdn]

Well, just for the record, I was apart of that essay contest. Yup, we got notice of it a week before we had to write it, and so we decided to call it pink as a joke. so live with it, we have spoken
The Pink Line? In Cicero? Al Capone must be spinning in his grave like a rotisserie gone beserk! (Believe his headquarters was in Cicero.) Too bad he’s not around - he could machine-gun whomever chose that name.
Hey the kids chose the color of course one of the largest gay festivals is held in Chicago I used to make the hotel reservations for it Mr Leather is what it is called.
Yes these are all very encouraging reasons for pink. I am glad. I am so looking forward to taking pictures of a pink train. That is the last thing on my list to do before I die so I best prepare myself. Here I thought I would never live to see the day…[banghead][banghead][banghead][banghead][banghead][banghead][banghead]
