	Gothamist: Subway Stealing Legend Arrested Again (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The most famous metrophile* in recent memory, Darius McCollum, has struck again: He was found by police in the LIRR's rail yards in Jamaica, Queens, carrying various transit keys (engineer, universal, and switch), transit workers' clothes and a hard hat.
		We wonder what program a judge, doctors, and the MTA could put together to give him an outlet - hopefully there could be a way to harness his interest (yes, Gothamist is being optimistic, but, hey, sometimes it calls for it).
		* And a metrophile "is a person who has as a hobby the study of metro (subway, underground) systems," according to UsefulReference.com.

		SD has a lot going for it--we have good friends there and have spent a lot of time in the vicinity--but San Francisco is a true city.
		Coming from (and loving) Chicago I think San Francisco would be closest suited for a "true metrophile".
		If you are a true metrophile, you will be far happier in San Francisco than San Diego.

		Although few can afford the price or the space for storage, some railfans even go so far as to collect full size rolling stock.
		In the New York Metropoltian area, the term Railfan is used in in a form that combines the normal meaning of the word with all the ativites assoicated with being a Metrophile.
		Sometimes the appeal of trains is nostalgic, recalling an earlier era when the railroads played a central role in commerce and transportation, and the train depot was the center of every town.

		It’s tough to get a diehard metrophile out of the city, but even if you’ve come to regard grime and hostility as mother’s milk, it’s worth braving the clean, well-lit streets of Doylestown to check out the County Theater’s varied slate of movie programming.
		Programming art house, local and rep films all year ’round — something no theater in Philadelphia can boast — the County gets only half its revenue from ticket sales.
