George - thanks for that. I guess that comes under the heading of particularly bad methods of getting across Chicago.
I was in MDW last Tuesday and caught the "L" (Orange line) to go into town. $1.50 one way - but took a good 30 minutes.
To do that and then have to get the matching Blue Line back out again doesn't have a pleasant ring to it - especially at 11pm.
I'm going to be there for a few days - I feel a Hertz car coming on!!
