<p>@Serge, please credit Chicago Streetcar Renaissance. I confirmed that John Krause did indeed create the graphic, and advised him to imprint a name on it. He has a Facebook page, Twitter, all the usual media. He has a website for the project, as well as a related blog.</p>

<p>Interesting move switching to iced coffee this morning at the Blue City pit stop. The timing was not ideal given that it was nice and cool this morning, but hey, it is good to question the established routine(s) and try new stuff. Bravo!</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks for Owen and the ActiveTrans staff and volunteers who made that Pit Stop happen.</p>
