Newly re-elected Mayor Rahm Emanuel has stopped by the Red Line's 95th Street station to greet commuters after his runoff victory.
Emanuel shook hands, posed for selfies and received hugs from supporters Wednesday morning. And he spent time listening to residents' concerns as they moved between buses and trains at the South Side station.
