The CTA Historical Calendar is here at last. It is one of my favorite calendars, and not just because it is free. It is put out each year by the Chicago Transit Authority, featuring historic photographs of Chicago and it's streetcars, buses, and "L" trains. You can download it and just keep it on your computer, print the calendar out, or even download individual photographs. The photograph above, featuring Wrigley Field during the 1935 World Series against Detroit, is this year's photograph for October. And I imagine it is not a coincidence that they are featuring this photo during the month of October. No doubt the editors are Cubs fans, hoping for a return to the World Series this year for the Cubs. However, according to Chicago White Sox broadcaster Steve Stone, this will be the year the South Side Chicago White Sox win it all. Perhaps it will be a subway series, the first since 1908, back when I was but a wee slip of a lad. Be sure to download your CTA calendar at http://1recriutment.transitchicago.com/historicalcalendar/.
