Vinny Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 In addition to the wrap on a 3200 (my assumption), Clark/Lake will also be decorated to celebrate the launch of "Super Luigi U". Not sure if this is only for a day or an extended period. http://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/20130809/downtown/luigi-rides-brown-line-nintendo-decorates-l-line-for-games-launch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Railwaymodeler Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 They should have also handed out those CTA L maps someone created in Super Mario Bros 3 style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, I didn't see him when i was on the cars tonight. They said he was supposed to be there until 7 PM. Maybe he was on a coffee break with L.E. Jack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he was on a coffee break with L.E. Jack. I was thinking more the Luigi in the Nintendo game, not some poseur. But if Luigi can't do they job, maybe the first responders call in Sergeant Calhoun from Wreck it Ralph and Dolton. And hasn't LE Jack been unemployed since about 1997? Will Emanuel come up with Fred Red? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Emanuel come up with Fred Red? He should be able to do the job, the game is called Super Luigi Bros. Maybe Ho Dar will come back this fall. I sure many would like to see what he's been up to. The signs did say Ho Dar is coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That now has a different connotation, especially on the South Side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtrosario Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Saw Luigi yesterday at 3:50pm while transferring from the Blue to Green lines. He was next to the two Nintendo game systems just inside the Ground level CTA entrance inside the State of Illinois building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juniorz Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 How Long is this promotion going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sw4400 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Caught a 4-car Brown Line set early this afternoon... what surprised me was the consist and more importantly... the décor. 3293-3294(ad wrapped for Butterfinger asking "Who took Bart's Butterfinger Bar?") and 3441-3442(the Luigi cars still ad wrapped for the Nintendo promotion) Which leads me to pose a question and have the answer!!! "Who took Bart's Butterfinger Bar?" "Luigi!!!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinyNorman Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 How Long is this promotion going I boarded a Luigi car yesterday at Chicago/Franklin, so the promotion appears to still be running after nearly a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusHunter Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Bart must have not paid the rent, those cars, #3293-94 are now wrapped for Jagermeister. (That was quick those cars must have only been wrapped for a month.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
