Turnstile Captures String Bass
On Friday, September 4th, a young musician was traveling,
via the CTA, to perform at the Chicago Jazz Festival. He
arrived at the “El” stop at Wabash and Adams wheeling
an upright bass and an electric bass on his back. While
exiting through the turnstile, his bass got wedged and he
couldn’t move. The Chicago Fire Department was called
to the rescue. They were able to disassemble some of the
bars and extract the musician and his electric bass. He ran
off to Grant Park to play his gig, leaving his upright bass
still hostage in the turnstile. He made it to the gig on time
and eventually the Fire Department and the CTA were
able to extricate his bass.
