CTA – Morgan

The Morgan station is one of newer CTA Green and Pink line train stations located in the West Loop at the corners of Lake St and Morgan St. The station is clean, includes a working elevator and is next to Google’s office. I deducted one star because when I arrived at the station on Tuesday, 9pm there was no attendant present. I found this a bit odd. Perhaps other CTA stations don’t have 24 hour attendants but not having someone there felt a little creepy.

***Chicago’s train system is a quick and inexpensive way to get around the city; the trains come and go frequently at this stop and very highly regarded restaurants like Moto and The Aviary are just a block away from this station***
I am not sure what the parking situation is in this area.

Great addition to the West Loop!
What once was a CTA stop desert now has a modern, beautiful el station that serves the West Loop so well. This was a very helpful addition to the Green/​Pink lines.

A fantastic option for getting into the Loop, South Loop or out to Oak Park, and Forest Park for those of us in the West Loop and West Town area.
This station is even better, now that it’s Divvy accessible.
Also, for those of you that like taking photos, there’s a lot of nice skyline views from this station.

The newest of the El stops, this was created for a halfway point between Ashland and Clinton for the growing number of buyers in the area. Nothign radical but a nice metallic update on the average El station – still the horribly open style for the winters but seems to have more places to hide from precipitation. Right north of the middle of the Randolph street restaurant area, good place to get off to explore that neighborhood.

Yayerz! Finally a stop along randolph. This would have been so useful when I worked in the west loop along randolph last year! Oh well, better late than never. I use to have to stop at the one on ashland and cross ogden to get over to work on randolph– or just drive. It’s new so it’s nice, shiny– a little nicer than your average CTA train stop with nice elevators– I’m sure later down the line it’ll start smelling like hot piss laced with venereal diseases mixed with stale alcohol, dash of feces in there for good measure and pine sol in the air… aaaah perfectly nauseating. I’m looking at you ashland stop elevator! I would only take that elevator when a certain coworker was always too lazy to walk up the stairs and insisted on using the elevator Lord have some mercy. That’s why we’re all fat!
Morgan stop. I’m glad you’re finally here right on lake street.

New West Loop pink and green line stop at the Lake/​Morgan street intersection.
A brand spanking new station that allows you to get between the West Loop and downtown in just a few stops. It’s far more convenient than the Blue line or taking the winding route of the 20. A super easy stop that puts you right by the best restaurants in the city.
Westside!
