A walk to the train

 

You can ALMOST see the buds on the tree!!! After today(it is supposed to rain and be very warm) I am sure it will be greener! This is on the way to the Palatine Train Station. I take the train (usually) when I go downtown and I love how they make it so quaint!

Train tracks and townhouses

 
These are the townhouses across the street from the Palatine train station. This is a maintenance vehicle on the tracks...it was ZOOMING down the tracks....the townhouses were built with commuters to downtown Chicago in mind. Beetle, more red brick for decoration!

Palatine Train Station

 
This is the closest train station to my town...it was moved from across the street to this new facility when the community decided to do a major face lift. If you hop on the train here...it takes you 45 minutes to get to downtown Chicago....There is also a Starbucks here so if you didn't get your cappacino from the bar turned coffee shoppe you can always get it from Starbucks-although I find Starbucks to be too bitter for me....I LOVE a good cup of coffee, but NOT Starbucks...guess I am in the minority. !
