Anne Shaw— Resident of Chicago Police District #13
In Mayor Emanuel’s proposed budget, three Chicago police stations are on the chopping block. We visit the Wood St. station in the 13th District (Wicker Park/East Village) to hear from Anne, a concerned citizen. She started on online petition to save the station here.

On the topic of music about riding CTA trains – Rhett Miller doesn’t qualify as a local artist anymore, but there’s a song on ‘The Instigator’ called ‘The El’.
‘Let’s say you’re in Chicago and you’re rattling along on the el / And the one who rides beside you is a stranger to herself’
And so on and so forth.
