Observations on Clybourn Platform

My notes are splattered with rain and thus a little difficult to read, but here's what I can make out (in no particular order):

They scatter the second they alight from the train.
No one wants to be outside here.
The blue Clybourn sign has spraint saying "J4F."
Competing storage facilities--"Self Storage 1" and "Public Storage" with U-Haul trucks. Orange and red.
Rain, sign that says Wet Paint--not sure if is from fresh paint or rain. :)
A cement truck rolls by with rotating wet cement container.
Hardy flowers, gravel instead of grass, muted greens, yellows, golden wheat, browns, and some orange. White gravel.
Trash: plastic, cigarette box, green plastic bottlecap.
Most colorful thing is woman's umbrella and orange flourescent sign that says CONSTRUCTION, and ads.
Sattelite dish on top of 7-11.
Looking down on roads cracked, patched, multi-layered.
Trash can near platform drenched in dry, sticky liquid.
Sears (Willis?) Tower, clouds hugging horizon.
Everyone stands in a line looking at empty train tracks and greybrown rocks and waits for the train to come.

These are nice notes--I admire their compression. --JC
