Stewart Ridge is an electrified commuter rail station along the Blue Island Branch of the Metra Electric line in the Stewart Ridge neighborhood of the West Pullman section of Chicago, Illinois. The official address, according to Metra is Stewart Ridge, South of 120th Place. While this is generally true, the actual location is between Stewart Avenue and Harvard Avenue, halfway between 120th Street and 122nd Street, which is 16.06 miles (25.85 km) away from the northern terminus at Randolph Street Station. In Metra's zone-based fare system, Stewart Ridge is in zone D.
Like many Metra Electric stations, Stewart Ridge is little more than a pre-fabricated shelter on an elevated platform. No parking or bus service is available at this station.
Famous quotes containing the words stewart and/or ridge:
“Anthropologists have found that around the world whatever is considered “men’s work” is almost universally given higher status than “women’s work.” If in one culture it is men who build houses and women who make baskets, then that culture will see house-building as more important. In another culture, perhaps right next door, the reverse may be true, and basket- weaving will have higher social status than house-building.”
—Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen. Excerpted from, Gender Grace: Love, Work, and Parenting in a Changing World (1990)
“I hate journalists. There is nothing in them but tittering jeering emptiness. They have all made what Dante calls the Great Refusal.... The shallowest people on the ridge of the earth.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
