I walked nearly ten miles in two days while in Chicago. Lesley had training so I went with her since I didn't have to worry about going in to work since I didn't get the job? Bitter? Nah. It was nice. I was all by myself during the first half of the day Monday and Tuesday and I got to see more of Chicago. I thought I would be miserable on my

I grew up in Chicago, and was there until a few years ago. I get back, but not often enough. If you use a computer while out of town, or call the transit hotline, you can get almost anywhere from there.
I actually got from St. Louis Amtrack to my home near Elgin illinois once using public transportation in 7 hours. It takes me by car 5 1/2, so that isn't bad at all. I had to wait 40 minutes for a train to the Elgin station. otherwise I think I would have been home in 6 1/2 hours, and the bus let me off 2 blocks from my home. I think that's a good deal!
I love and miss Chicago. If you get back there, make some time for the Museum of Science and Industry http://www.msichicago.org/ if you like that stuff, and if it is in the summer when it's warm out... go to Navy pier. good food, good fun.

I would have gone to see the Star Wars exhibit if I hadn't murdered my legs. I enjoyed Navy Pier the last time we were there.
