	No. 1-02-0815, Curtis v. Chicago Transit Authority
		The CTA ultimately moved to dismiss the complaint pursuant to section 2-619 of the Code of Civil Procedure (735 ILCS 5/2-619 (West 2000)), arguing that plaintiff's notice under section 41 of the Metropolitan Transit Authority Act (the Transit Act) (70 ILCS 3605/41 (West 2000)) was defective because it provided the wrong date of the accident.
		The CTA argued that plaintiff's section 41 notice was deficient because it contained the wrong date and time of the accident, as evidenced by her deposition testimony.
		Upon the CTA's motion to dismiss for failure to comply with section 41, plaintiff argued that the CTA was in possession of her signed statement as well as her medical records, which provided actual notice of her injury and pending lawsuit.

		Chicago, America's premier jazz-rock ensemble, is second only to the Beach Boys as the most successful American rock band of all time.
		Chicago's music was a mixture of styles, from hard rock to light pop, incorporating elements of jazz and classical, but after Cetera's "If You Leave Me Now" on the Chicago X album became a gold - selling #1 hit in 1976, the group became more identified with romantic ballads than anything else.
		Chicago was able to sustain its renewed popularity with a whole new generation of "Chicagophiles" despite Cetera's departure for a solo career in 1985.

		The 1969 self-titled "Chicago Transit Authority" may well be the most ambitious debut album in the history of rock simply because it was a double-album.
		Instead, CTA shortened its name to Chicago (before that they were the Big Thing), kept putting out double-albums for a while, insisted on numbering all of them just to be different, and became the second most successful American rock band of all time in terms of albums and singles after the Beach Boys.
		CTA did some rock 'n' roll but usually it was mixed with a heavy dose of jazz and some classical touches.

	Ground and Sky review - Chicago Transit Authority - Chicago Transit Authority
		The downside is there is some real filler on Chicago Transit Authority, including a completely unnecessary cover of "I'm a Man." The follow-up record, Chicago II, would see the band at a point where they could finally fill out four sides of vinyl satisfactorily.
		I think Chicago II is stronger overall than Chicago Transit Authority, but the latter brings to the table an intensity they'd never really recapture on subsequent records.
		The main difference, though, was that Chicago drew largely from American musical forms of expression for their inspiration, mixing the advanced harmonies of jazz, the piano-pounding chords of Beatles pop, and the spirit of soul and blues from their native city, all of it blended together in a rock context.

		you're right that the cta map isn't always totally precise: bryn mawr and broadway, for example, display a block or two northeast of their actual location, but still...just incredible.
		Also, Chicago CartoGraphics (who does the CTA map) would probably have been happy to have given access to the map overlay files--which might have saved some time.

		Chicago weren't yet the '70s hit-singles factory they would shortly become, and CTA showcases a band whose muscular musicianship and creative restlessness fostered two LPs worth of music that was as aggressive and far-ranging as its singles were friendly and inviting.
		By 1972 Chicago had hit rock bottom (of musical significance, not the charts), but in this original recording, they earned the right to appropriate the name of the city that was their home.
		Chicago is a great band, but this was the best of all the albums released.
