(Most normal people would call Michigan City a different city than Chicago and thus you took an “intercity” journey, but we aren’t talking about normal people, we’re talking about Congress ... :) )

Well seeing as how they are 60 miles apart and South Bend (which is serviced by South Shore) is 90 miles from Chicago, I’d think they are different cities. But what do I know?

Like I said... “most normal people”... you’re fairly normal for an AFOL!

Suppose you were an idiot.
And suppose you were a member of Congress.
But I repeat myself.
