I'd recommend Metra Rail over driving -- far less hassle, no parking problems, drops you straight into the Loop, and you can hack for an hour on the way in and out ;-) ...just beware the mid-day service blackout -- 11 am - 1pm or so. Otherwise, coverage is great. Not a Chicagoan, but know several well ;-) -- Karsten M. Self <kmself@ix.netcom.com> http://kmself.home.netcom.com/ What part of "Gestalt" don't you understand?
