So you grew up across from Pleasant Home? That's a very pretty mansion.
The West Cook Y is on the NW corner of Marion/Randolph and there is a parking
lot north of it. That might be what you see on Google. The building
is old and still has the residential parts.

Yes the reason they try to push the pods are you don't have to liscense
them, where as the trailer has to be liscensed and all the BS that comes
with the DOT - so if you just have one trailer or truck for every 10 or 20
pods the cost savings should ad up pretty quick.
