Chicago news crews on the vote! The polling place at Wrightwood and Lakewood always attracts a crowd of television trucks, this morning saw four of the five (when I walked by) local stations covering the vote from that apparently critical corner. The polling place is in a VFW hall. There are train tracks that run down Lakewood, they are used less often these days but as recently as two years ago the neighborhood could look forward to "Tuesday Train Day" when two and three car freight trains would crawl through the neighborhood.
