“My favorite Chicago sign was the Magikist sign along the Kennedy [Expressway]. As a kid, when I saw that sign, I had some idea of how much longer till the family station wagon arrived downtown or arrived home from a trip downtown. … I always sat in the third row, which faced backwards, and got to stare at the lips for a long time as they filled in with vertical lines of bright, red lights over and over.”
