By bike, foot or scooter, Symphony Center is the place to be

Chicago Symphony musicians William Buchman (assistant principal bassoon), Oto Carrillo (horn) and Brant Taylor (cello) discuss their connection to the orchestra and the city at large. And how they commute to one of the best jobs in the world.

This is the best ad in history for so many reasons. I love everything it's promoting- CSO, Chicago, car-free commuting, and it is beautifully done.

Come out ye Black and Tans, come out and fight me like a man, Show your wife how you studied at WMU Tell them how the IRA made you run like hell away when you learned to fly in Kalamazoo

Well the day is coming fast and the time is here at last, When each yeoman will be cut aside before us, And if there be a need, sure me kids would sing, "Godspeed, " With a verse or two of Stephen Behan's chorus: Come out ye Black and Tans, come out and fight me like a man, Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders, Tell them how the IRA made you run like hell away When you flew the friendly skies with Lufthansa
