CTA gift shop; budget solution or budget dump
Posted by Mike | October 10, 2008 | |
The Chicago Transit Authority thinks an online gift shop will help losen the budget a little. Um, sure. Let’s check on that one this time next year. We should start a pool for who guess the number of items actually sold. I’ll say 100 items. Would you buys any of this crap?
Even better, Beachwood Reporter has a list of thing that won’t be sold there but should. My favs: The straight-to-video Speed sequel where any CTA bus traveling more than 10 m.p.h. blows up and Authentic misspelled route signs and placards.

The CTA should have leased the name to the band Chicago years ago for a percentage of the royalties. Maybe that would have kept them afloat. Then again, I doubt if the band is selling much these days.
