Where's Monica? The Kimball L station

The area soon had so many families that the city built Roosevelt High School in 1922, followed by Von Steuben less than a mile away in 1930.

• The station got its first makeover in 1974 and another in 2007 when this functional tandem sculpture by Josh Garber, called Hope and Renewal, was unveiled.
• Albany Park, which has hosted waves of different immigrant groups over the years, remains one of the most culturally diverse neighborhoods in the nation.

👏 Congratulations to Brian E. and Frank S., whose names we picked out of a conductor's hat. Pick up some sweet Axios swag at our next event!

Musical miracle: Reader and Chicago Symphony Orchestra bassoonist William B. wrote to say he will always remember the Kimball station as a place of utter relief after he accidentally left his bassoon on the train.

• After realizing the mistake, "I drove to the station, where I found another rider who had retrieved the instrument and was wandering around the station trying to figure out what to do with it."

• William gave the Good Samaritan, "all the cash in my and my husband’s wallets, along with a promise of free concert tickets for him and his girlfriend."
• The couple took him up on the offer and "saw their first orchestra concert ever."
