Chicago's Ravenswood 'L centennial?
Posted by Bob-Fryml on Monday, November 12, 2007 6:24 PM

Among the picture post cards I have at home is one I purchased about ten years ago.  It reads "1907 Ravenswood Elevated 1997 90th Anniversary."  Although today most folks refer to this route as the Brown Line, to me I shall forever call it "The Ravenswood!" 

So here it is ten years later.  Has the Chicago Transit Authority had any centennial commemorations for this 'L line?  Or do they plan any?
