This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

It isn't all that big by rumrunner
There are basically two concourses (plus a tiny Concourse C), each of which is just a long line of gates. The only moderately difficult part of making a connection would be if his arriving flight was in Concourse A and his departing flight was in Concourse B (or vice-versa), in which case he would have to walk towards security to the food court and then walk over to the other clearly marked concourse.
I don't know any 13-year-olds so it is hard for me to gauge what they are capable of, but a connection in Midway is much easier than in O'Hare or Atlanta (but harder than in a small regional airport, of course). The link has a map of Midway gates.
