This is a nice CTA Blue Line station on Damen and North Avenue on the North Side. I only deducted one star because the many stairs are a bit rickety and sometimes they are hard to navigate in the snow. But this station has heat lamps on the platform, which is a great amenity since we have long winters here in Chicago. There are bike racks out front, which is a great thing too. The station is conveniently located right near Stan's Donuts, Flash Taco, Walgreens, and many more places. All in all it's good for commuting.
Beautiful platform as far as train platforms go. Great view up and down Damen. Can't lose with the Robey Hotel and beautifully crafted apartment buildings framing it. A little tough to get on during rush hour - sometimes you might have to wait 2-3 trains to be able to nab a spot - but definitely easier than getting on at Division. Takes 30 minutes to get to O'Hare from here.
One of my favorite parts of the city. If you're a creative visiting Chicago for the first time, Catch the blue line to Damen. It reminds me of Williamsburg or Bushwick. If you're traveling light and taking the blue line to downtown from the airport, stop here first. It's along the way.
I don’t know why so many weird people hang around here so early in the morning. Some guy was dressed like a 1960s Batman villain was chasing people around asking if they were k-Pop stars this morning. I decided to nope out and get a snack and then go in while he was sprinting South.
Beautiful historically rehabbed station with great views. It has a storage room for bicycles, heat lamps in the shelters and a nifty rear exit on North Ave. Only thing it lacks is an elevator, which is a shame given that it directly serves O'Hare.
Incredibly busy during rush hour. Located in Wicker Park which is pretty much Millenial Central, lots of hip restaurants and stores around this area. (If you come here at the right time around 7ish, the entire station smells like burgers!)
Another stop with no elevator. :( I guess CTA thinks disabled people don't go anywhere. It's hard enough navigating through everyday obstacles so when you need to travel around the city it shouldn't be impossible.
At like 4:50 a.m on August 22nd the driver heading to O'Hare purposely passed me while I was running to the stop, I'm guessing I was too far ahead the train so started running and he drove right past me and smiled
A nice historic station on the O'Hare Branch of the CTA Blue Line. I really like the front of the stationhouse. It still looks just as it did many many years ago. Inside on the walls, there are historic photos.
Extensive beer list that is managed and displayed in real time via several TVs. Food bites are great and they have board-games as well. Located near several other bars, make sure to stop by here.
Informal and friendly, I'm a fan of the service the CTA personnel provide at this particular location, as well as the views of Damen Ave. Unfortunately, it's not handicap accessible.
Wicker Park, where all of the white people are so interesting. There are bars and there are clothes. Got to look good and get that drank.
It works for me, this metro line connect to the downtown area and the airport. the station was very near of my hostel, very practical.
Really, remodeled but still no elevator. You may have to wait for a few train to go by to fit in at rush hour.
I'm stuck on the blue line. The train is having difficulties. The view is okay, trees look nice I guess.
I see one woman attendant who is always screaming at passangers. Terrible manners and lots of attitude.
It's an el station on the Blue line. Sand is spread on snowy days. About ten minutes to the Loop.
Riding the CTA is a bargain. You can get anywhere in the city quickly,safely and its affordable.
No elevator! Why is an incredibly busy station in a popular neighborhood lacking an elevator?
Muito facil de usar e bem indicada por placas. Quem tiver sozinho consegue se virar.
Photogenic station in the heart of Damen. The donut shop downstairs is awesome!
Used this station multiple times on my trip to the city. No complaints.
Not the best station but close to all the main spots in wicker park!
Service was pretty fast and convenient. I got my Ventra cars here!
Muy mal servicio de trenes ! Yo lo uso a diario . Mucho retraso.
some guy attacked me and my friends at 2:30 am
