I've lived in Chicago since 2012 but loved Bob and the other Chicago based shows and movies since I was a kid too.

Living in Chicago I was trying to figure out his commute in this was very helpful. Thanks again! Good to know that I'm not the only one obsessed with opening titles.

This is a neat breakdown of it but not really acurate. if you live in Chicago you know that that commute is indeed about the farthest one most business people take north. It takes about 45 minutes and everyone does read (on ipads now) it's about 6 miles there are about 15 stops to get there, it's not a bullet train. And presumably you could walk from that building back into the loop since the redline that goes up to that neighborhood isn't very close to that area at michigan. In Film and TV to say "Chicago" visually you need to show the "L" and the Redline that he needed to take is underground there so to be on the L tracks downtown you'd need to walk south into the loop first. Also If you're sharp and want to beat the crowd at 4:45 your best bet is to go there where less people have already gotten on and you might get a seat. the rest is just shot to show the most 'big city' drama. That apt building is right on the lake and a gorgeous spot, but affordable at the time, the perfect spot for a young couple. This opening is in fact probably the best representation I've seen of a fall day in Chicago. To get perfect depiction of travel, though, is near impossible in 2 minutes if you want anyone to stay awake. No offense, I'm just saying I went through this same thought process just now and I live in Chicago; It's pretty darn close. Can't wait to try and re-shoot it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046751414407003862.post-72369950997727598082011-10-07T06:37:41.172-05:002011-10-07T06:37:41.172-05:00What?

What's so unusual about that?
