    If you're on the escalator, PLEASE walk forward. Many trains have been missed because people simply don't pay attention.

    Get your hair did at XEX salon inside the Leo Burnett building. I recommend Jessi for color and TJ for cutting. Solid work and they give to feeding America.

    During the winter months, the heaters get so crowded that it's the perfect place for pickpockets. Mind your phones!

    Priscilla Orr is the diva of State and Randolph! Be sure to talk to her on your way out of the subway.

    Just outside of the turnstiles, the panhandlers will wait for you, pretending they need money to buy their fare. Keep walking.
