Private transportation: Chicago - Highland Park?

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

Anyone know the best way to reach Highland Park from downtown Michigan Avenue Chicago? I need to go on Friday and have a lot of luggage so taking the train is not a good option for me. Suggestions of taxis, limo services, other ideas? How much should this cost? What companies should I contact?

What do recommend for a day trip to Chicago from Milwaukee?

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

I’m going to be taking my first day trip to Chicago. I’m thinking of taking the Metra train either from Kenosha or Waukegan. Are there any tips or hints from anyone when taking the metra. I also see there is a $5 weekend pass but I can’t find where to purchase those. Are they at the stations and does there have to be an attendant as I know not all stations have one? Then, once I get there, I see there are free trolleys to get around. Is there an abundance or would it be better to take the bus? I’m looking to do a few tourist things, Shedd aquarium, Navy Pier maybe, a museum, and would love to catch some really good authentic Chinese food. Any recommendations on that would be great also! Thank you!

I need advice on parking or mass transit in Chicago?

Monday, June 15th, 2009

Hey nice internetizens!

I am coming to Chicago for a 48 hour film festival, and I will be driving in from downstate. I am only bringing two big bags with me, so I will be mobile on foot for buses or train access. My main question is, since I have only a little money to sustain me for the week,

Does anyone know a cheap way to park my car in the city, or a way to park outside the city, and bring my two heavy bags into the area near the Hancock building?

I’m open to walking a couple miles for the right deal, but obviously, the closer the better. And if it helps, I have a student I.D. from a community college down here in Peoria.
Thanks in advance!
