Officials say the 64-year-old driver who crashed a semitrailer into a Chicago Transit Authority Train Station in April has died. The Cook County Medical Examiner's office said Saturday that Donald Wells of Metamora, Mich., has died at a Chicago hospital. The office says his cause of death is pending further police investigation. Chicago police would only confirm that Wells was the driver of the truck in the April 25 accident that killed two women and injured 21 others. Wells was cited for negligent driving after ramming his truck into the Cermak CTA stop during a Friday afternoon rush hour. He was not criminally charged. Elosia Guerrero, 47, and Delisia Brown, 18, were killed in the accident. ... Source: wkzonews.blogspot.com --- 19 days ago

Chicago — They may not be falling in love, but they're falling in line. Prominent supporters of Hillary Rodham Clinton are embracing Barack Obama, literally and figuratively, even though some remain bitter about her loss in a presidential primary process that they feel treated her unfairly. In several key states this week, Obama is being joined on stages by top Democrats who, a few weeks ago, were working to deny him the nomination. "I know I'm late, but I am on the Train," North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley said Monday in introducing Obama in Raleigh. "I'd rather be a bum on the boxcar of the Obama Train than at the front of the bus with John McCain," he said of Obama's Republican opponent. A few in the crowd of 900 briefly booed Easley, whose endorsement of Clinton failed to stop Obama from an easy win in the May 6 primary, which all but doomed the former first lady's hopes. Other former Clinton backers also are jumping on the Obama express, now that it has left the Station. Introducing him at a St. Louis fundraiser this week was state Rep. Rachel Storch, who was Clinton's Missouri state director. Later this week, two Democratic governors who helped deliver crucial Clinton wins in their states will appear with Obama. Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland will greet him in Columbus on Friday, and later that day the senator plans to join Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell in Philadelphia. The governors lent their considerable prestige and organization ... Source: www.huffingtonpost.com --- 19 days ago
Ed Lawson is my friend. Ed Lawson is "a Black Man, an African American man, a Negro man. He is, for a variety of reasons, a man I admire. He is a "real American hero" and this article he has written will tell you a little about why this is so. Norman Horowitz STAND UP STRAIGHT BY EDWARD LAWSON EDWARDLAWSON.COM I've been absent from 8th grade for decades. But I can still remember the 8th grade return-from-summer-vacation "show & tell." I can hear the teacher telling me to stand up straight. And I can imagine, how I might tell the other little boys & girls about my summertime constitutional collision with the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration on board an ordinary Amtrak Train in Albuquerque, New Mexico, earlier this week as I attempted to Amtrak from Los Angeles to Chicago. On Sunday, June 8, at 6:45 PM at Union Station in Los Angeles, I boarded Amtrak's Southwest Chief # 4, Train car 413, seat 6. I was amazed that we departed on time. I anticipated that we would arrive at Chicago's Union Station on time, on Wednesday at 3:20 PM. This railroad ride is routine, as the sumptuous southwest scenery slides by my window. Then suddenly out of nowhere my bucolic bubble is burst by the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration, when the Amtrak Train stops in Albuquerque, New Mexico. At the Albuquerque, New Mexico, Train Station stop, on Monday, June 9, at about 12:30 PM, I step off the Amtrak Train to take a "not-smoking break." As I ret ...

FOR MORE INFO CHECK OUT OUR WEBSITE http://www.foleyrailroadmuseum.com/index.cfm Located in the old L & N Railroad Depot is Foley's Museum Archives. The first depot was built in 1905 when Mr. John B. Foley of Chicago used some of his own money to bring the railroad to the southern part of Baldwin County. This first depot burned to the ground, and a second Station took its place in 1908. The railroad line was a spur from Bay Minette and ended approximately a mile south of Foley. At that end, there was a wye when the Train could turn around. The depot and the railroad became the center of activity for the growing town of Foley. At this time, the area was primarily agricultural so the railroad was vital to getting the produce to market. During "shipping" season, thousands of boxcars would pull out of Foley loaded with potatoes, corn, gladiolas, and many other types of produce that was grown in the area. In 1971, the L & N Railroad discontinued their services to Foley. It was the intention of the company to tear down the depot. However, John Snook, owner of Gulf Telephone Company, bought the building for one dollar. He then moved the whole building to Magnolia Springs, a small community five miles West of Foley. For 24 years, Mr. Snook used the building as a warehouse for the phone company before deeding it to the City of Foley. In 1995, the depot was returned to Foley and placed back in its original location. The City has since turn ...
When I travel, no matter where I go, I am always acutely aware of how other people live their life. I analyze why they live this way, what purpose does it serve to them and could I ever live like them. While living in Europe I walked every where and I loved the smell of clean linen hanging on the lines in back yards. I relished it. And in our last trip to Italy and Spain I was reminded again why it is I felt this way. It wasn't just that I was getting some exercise or fresh air... I was connecting with people I didn't know and most likely would never see again. So, then I thought about all the talk of being one with nature by caring for the environment, getting outside and away from the t.v. - but how do we become one with the human race? What do we do to really connect with people we don't know on a daily basis? If you live like I have, you wake up, get in the car, commute to work, converse with the same old office people, get in the car, commute home, talk to family. Can you imagine the thousands of people we have passed up throughout the day that we didn't even acknowledge? I'm reminded of Shug's quote in The Color Purple, "I think it pisses God off when you walk by the color purple in a field and don't even notice it." And I wonder how much it pisses God off that I walk by these people and don't even notice. I live 1.2 miles from the Train Station that takes me to Chicago. Today I planned on meeting my dear friend Allison at the s ...
