Bring a bag lunch or visit the Diner on Central Avenue where food and beverages are available at nominal cost. Restrooms and an ATM machine are also located there. This is an opportunity for older riders to reminisce and for younger riders to know what it was like to ride an Insult Era interurban or old time 'L' car. Relive a part of Chicago transportation history that is now gone, but certainly not forgotten.
