- Brandi CartmillAugust 11, 2012I don't like this stop because it gets crowded but there are some pretty good performers. Especially the group of about 4 or 5 brothas. One actually put me on the spot and sang to me one time.
- If you commute home on the Red Line, your best chance of getting a seat is standing on the far ends of the platform where you see the signs overhead which say 6, 8, or 6 8, respectively.
- I frequent this stop. Its performers, good and bad, are an essential part of its atmosphere. I especially love the silver gorilla 'dancer' and the energy pumping drums in the tunnel.
- DeedzJuly 7, 2011I like to walk the platforms from here to lake in the winter to avoid the cold, or any other time to avoid foot traffic
- Waddie GrantJune 9, 2013Watch your belongings. Keep your electronic devices out of the hoodlums' visions. #alltea #allshade
- Margo BastickSeptember 14, 2011If heading west on Jackson and turning right onto state in the evening around 9pm (when DePaul nite classes get out). Watch out for people power washing the building
- Anamaria HernandezAugust 31, 2014Always someone jamming here! It's a nice change from the normal sounds of nothing on the platform.
- Brian RayOctober 10, 2011If you're headed north, stay on Jackson. If southbound, walk north to Monroe. That will improve your chances getting a seat.
- Earplugs are the only defense against crappy buskers. Also, be on guard for pickpockets if you use the tunnel to the Blue Line.
- Catch the blues around 7 or 8 in the morning on weekdays.
- Jake SmithNovember 9, 2012If the old guy with the mic and boombox is here, ask him to sing something by Sam Cooke.
- Vincent Ambrosia Jr.December 12, 2011Bring some noise canceling/isolating headphones unless you want to listen to the wanna be rapper with his boombox
- Ugh, avoid the station if you can. The tunnel too.
- Listen to free live music while waiting for the train at this stop.
- Walking into the station, not unusual to hear on the loud speaker, "if there are any police officers in the station, your assistance is needed on the platform."
- Fair warning: Ms. Kanye West is not related to the rapper/producer Kanye West
- D BrowneApril 2, 2011MISSING: JADE HOWELL LAST SEEN LOYOLA STOP GOING SOUTHBOUND. Please help!
