Demographic Porn. Once a cop woke me up when I’d fallen asleep on my regular commute to 95th/Dan Ryan. He did not wake me up to say “hey vagrant, stop sleeping on the train.” He woke me up to tell me that I’d missed my stop. I informed him I had not. He was very confused. ETA: Also don’t forget the Asians and Jews on the north side. wow.  I really want to see a similar map for other cities - I wonder how many are as pronounced.
