Long before Tom Hanks touched down for an extended stay at JFK airport in ''The Terminal,'' Gary Coleman's runaway set up house in a Chicago train station in 1981's movie ''On the Right Track.'' Who's better at transit-hub living?
ROOM WITH NO VIEW Tom's man-without-a-country bunks down on a set of chairs at Gate 67. Nice, but Gary's converted storage lockers -- with air-conditioning! -- are larger than most big-city apartments.
GOOD EATS Tom's first Big Apple bite is at a concourse Burger King, while Gary chows on deep-dish pizza. It's fast-food fare vs. a Chicago classic. Tom, you're giving us agita.
RISKY BUSINESS Gary runs a successful porter service -- until he's beaten and robbed. Ouch. We'll stick with Tom's under-the-table construction job. Not paying taxes to Uncle Sam? The American dream!
WINNER Tom's an adept airport denizen, but Gary takes the travel-lodging prize.
