CTA station naming rights?

Jon Hilkevitch:
The Chicago Transit Authority is negotiating with potential corporate sponsors for naming rights at some rail stations as a way to bring in new revenue.
Well this is the only paragraph about that, but it's in a column talking about the Illinois Department of Transportation offering naming rights for tollways and highways. There must be some serious desperation for cash here.

I wonder who might we want to own naming rights for 6th Ward L stops.

At 87th we could offer naming right to Home Depot, Loew's, Best Buy, or even Target. 79th could have Northern Trust. I couldn't tell you who should buy naming rights to both 69th and 95th. It would be nice if some local companies took advantage of this like Seaway or WVON for instance.

If we still had Soft-Sheen or Johnson Products in the neighborhood I think they should have a shot as well!
