My most favorite stop-well lit and it feels safer than most, probably because it's in Ravenswood Manor. Enter either on Sacramento or Francisco, but Ventra vending/cash machine only at Francisco side.- Long wait til your train comes? Grab a coffee and bagel at Steingolds Station or a slice of@pie at First Slice, both just outside the east entrance.
Andrew F.August 19, 2010If you're boarding via the Sacramento entrance during off peak times, make sure you walk at least halfway down the platform, or you'll have to run when a short train arrives
Running late on your morning commute? If you're entering on the Sacramento side you can duck under the gate behind the train and catch it right before the doors close
Named after the fabled L Train serial killer "Joey Francisco" the ghosts of his victims can often be heard, hauntingly singing some song...ding ding ding ding...
If you are coming in off Sacramento Ave. on a sunny day, make sure you got your shades on. Also, if you are leaving on Sacramento side, it really is ok to leave through the "no exit" door.
The helpful CTA staff isn't so...well, how do you say...helpful? Plus they eat McDonalds on the reg.
Why does everybody else have to pay for Jordan's friends rides through increased fares?

Francisco Station opened on December 14, 1907, as part of Northwestern Elevated Railroad's Ravenswood line. Because of the historic nature of the station structures, Francisco Station was not completely rebuilt as part of the expansion project, as with the neighboring Kedzie and Rockwell stations.
