Gary Airport station

Gary Airport/Clark Road is a South Shore Line commuter station serving the city of Gary, Indiana. It is one of three NICTD electric train stations in Gary, and serves the Gary/Chicago International Airport, although it does not provide direct access to the airport. NICTD gives the address as being on Clark Road near 2nd Avenue, approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) from Airport terminal, although it's actually on the corner of 2nd Place, one block south of the given location. Gary International Airport gives the station as being 1.5 miles (2.4 km) from the airport terminal.

The station itself consists of a single platform north of the tracks and three Plexiglas shelters. The station is a flag stop, so passengers must alert the conductor in advance if they want to get off and activate a strobe light flag stop signal if they want to get on.

Parking is available on both sides of the tracks. The parking lot on the southwest corner of Clark Road and 2nd Place is paved, while the shorter parking lot on South Bend Avenue isn't. Access to Gary Airport is available via shuttle service.

Clark (mascot)

Clark is the official team mascot of Major League Baseball's Chicago Cubs. He was announced on January 13, 2014 as the first official mascot in the modern history of the Cubs franchise. He was introduced that day at the Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center's pediatric developmental center along with some of the Cubs' top prospects such as number one draft pick Kris Bryant and Albert Almora, Jorge Soler, Mike Olt and Eric Jokisch. Over a dozen Cubs prospects were attending the Cubs' Rookie Development Program that week. The Cubs become the 27th team in Major League Baseball to have a mascot, leaving the Los Angeles Angels, Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees as the remaining franchises without mascots. According to the Cubs' press release, Clark is a response to fan demands (expressed via surveys and interviews) for more kid-friendly elements at Wrigley Field Cubs games to keep pace with games in other cities that have more to offer youth fans.

Description

He is a "young, friendly Cub" who will wear a backwards baseball cap and greet fans entering Wrigley Field, which is located at the corner of Clark Street (for which he is named) and Addison Street. North Clark Street borders the third base side of Wrigley Field. According to the Cubs, the fictional character Clark is descended from Joa, the franchise's original live Bears mascot in 1916.
