点评:One of the perks that comes with living in San Diego is that you can enjoy great weather almost every day of the year. Benefitting from this luxury creates a curiosity to experience the novelty of what others refer to as “cold weather”, so when I travel during the winter months I want to bundle up and then get outside! 🥶
I realize that living with freezing temperatures probably transitions from “novelty” to “torture” rather quickly, so I was curious about exploring a refuge for those less enthusiastic than myself about being out in the winter elements.
The Chicago Pedway System spans approximately 5 miles and connects 40 blocks as it weaves its way beneath the heart of the city. In what feels like an underground city, this maze of tunnels features multiple CTA (”L”) and commuter rail stations and also provides access to 50 public and private buildings. While there are shopping and food opportunities available, the pedway is more functional than a destination itself.
While the tunnels are well lit, clean, and safety never became a concern during my exploration, there are sections that can feel rather isolated (e.g., the parking garage segment), so the buddy system applies whenever possible.
The available routes are consistently marked by the pedway symbol (and several maps are posted), but you should be aware that the tunnels were not constructed in a contiguous fashion, so emerging from this subterranean sanctuary may be required at various intervals during your journey.
And that’s…Henry’s Take.

翻译:住在圣地亚哥的一大好处是,一年中几乎每天都能享受到好天气。这种奢侈的享受让人产生了一种好奇心,想要体验别人所说的“寒冷天气”的新奇感,所以当我在冬季旅行时,我想穿得暖暖的,然后出门!🥶
我意识到,在冰冻的气温下生活可能很快就会从“新奇”变成“折磨”,所以我很好奇,想为那些不像我一样热衷于在冬季外出的人寻找一个避难所。
芝加哥人行道系统横跨约 5 英里,连接 40 个街区,蜿蜒在市中心之下。这个隧道迷宫就像一座地下城市,拥有多个 CTA(“L”)和通勤火车站,还可以通往 50 座公共和私人建筑。虽然有购物和美食的机会,但人行道比目的地本身更具功能性。
虽然隧道光线充足、干净整洁,而且在我探索期间从未担心过安全问题,但有些路段感觉相当孤立(例如停车场部分),因此只要有可能,就采用伙伴制度。
可用的路线始终用人行道符号标记(并张贴了几张地图),但您应该知道,隧道不是以连续的方式建造的,因此在您的旅程中可能需要在不同时间间隔从这个地下避难所出来。
这就是……亨利的看法。
