At last! The Chicago Transit Authority's 2019 Historical Calendar is here, with 12 historic photographs of Chicago and the buses, "L" trains, and streetcars that have transported the citizens of Chicago for 160 years. How great is that? Keep it on your desktop, print out each month and put it on your wall or refrigerator, but be sure to e-mail it to every human being you know. I am featuring the January photograph from the calendar, which shows people boarding double deck buses after an Army Day ceremony back in 1946. My mother told me we used to ride double deck buses years ago when we were downtown, but I must have been pretty young, and couldn't remember. I was thinking they must have looked like the double deck buses you see in London, but perhaps these were what we actually rode. Still another of the world's mysteries solved!
