I am trying to get to Ed Debevics in Chicago. We are taking the train to Chicago and we don’t want to walk all the way. We are getting off at Ogilvie Station. Is there a subway we could take or a bus? I am not familier with those things.

Here is a map of where the place is: http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Chicagostate=ILaddress=640+N.+Wells+St.#a/maps/l::640+N+Wells+St:Chicago:IL:60610-3718:US:41.893586:-87.634114:address:Cook+County/m::12:41.893586:-87.634114:0:0:/io:0:::::f:EN:M:/e

The address is 640 N Wells St

Please help! Thanks
Thank Joker! Is the brown or orange line a bus or a subway? I probably sound pretty stupid.. lol.

Hi,
I am visiting Chicago at the beginning of May. We arrive by bus from Indianapolis but are departing from Midway airport. Our flight departs at 9am and we are staying at the James Hotel, 55 East Ontario. What is the quickest and most cost effective way of getting there. There will be two people with a total of four pieces of luggage. How much will it cost and how long will the ride take at that time of day.
Many Thanks,
Jon

I was supposed to meet someone in SF flying from Munich, they sent me an email that they will be here in the moring. I am trying to get a hold of them, but United rep is completley helpless.

I am a full time student at UIC but I’d like to take this one course that is only offered at Kennedy-Kings College in Chicago. The class goes from 2-3:30 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I would be taking the bus (CTA Bus #8) all the way down to Halsted and 63rd. I am a 5 foot 85 lb girl. I’ve talked to some friends and they don’t recommend me going down there because they say it is a bad neighborhood. Have any opinions? Advice?

I want to take an Amtrak train from Bloomington/Normal Illinois to Chicago and then go from there to the Museum of Science and Industry. Union Station and the Museum are 8 miles away so I’ll need some way to get there. What’s the best and cheapest way to? It’s like 21 bucks for a taxi so I’d rather not do that if it’s cheaper to take a bus or something else. Can anybody tell me a cheap way to get there? Like what there is and how much it’d be? Thanks so much!
Thank you so much that’s just what I was looking for! Man your tough to be able to live in Chicago as a Cards fan. And I thought being a Cardinal fan in Central Illinois was tough. lol Thanks again!

I don’t fly often, but am flying through Chicago Airport we arrive at terminal 1 and have to connect at terminal 2
can someone tell me if it is a long distants and how long it takes to get there,

if we are not late, we are traveling on the 20Th of Nov I bet there will be lots of Holiday travel,
Thanks for any replies and have a Safe and Happy Thanksgiving

I’m going to be going to Chicago on February 1st. On February 2nd, a friend of mine from South Korea will be joining me. I will be coming into Chicago via Amtrak, and taking my hotel’s shuttle bus to O’Hare. My friend will be arriving in Terminal 5 (The International Terminal, obviously). I spoke with an operator at O’Hare, and asked about how I would go about meeting up with my friend, and she told me that I would not be able to have any access whatsoever to the terminal unless I myself had a ticket. I asked if there was any threshold between the exit doors and customs where I would be able to stand and wait, lest I stand outside for 30-45 minutes in freezing temperatures. she couldn’t answer that question.

So basically, what I’m trying to do is figure out a meeting place for my friend and I to arrange that won’t confuse either of us without me freezing to death. Is this at all possible, or should I pack two layers of clothes for this day?

We want to go to Kansas city from Chicago airport on April 6th about 4:30PM but don’t know which was the faster and cheaper way, by train or by taxi or by airplane? And how much, do you have an idea?
