Are you planning to be here on any weekdays, or just over the weekend?

Agree, the El is a good way to get around if you're trying to keep your budget low. Their buses aren't bad either, IMO.

I generally go there a number of times, and in fact am going in a couple weeks. Anyway, the difference in Amtrak vs Southwest flying into Midway was about $30 roundtrip (at least for my upcoming trip). 1.5 hrs in the air or 8+ on the rail from KC.

If you fly into Midway, you can get a 3 day CTA pass (good for rail and buses) right at the orange line stop in the airport from their pseudo ATM. Its like $13 for that 3 day pass. Not sure cost of a 7 day pass.

Bearcat and I have had lunch here before. They might have enough TVs to air multiple games.

Good tip. SEC in case you aren't aware the Kilt is like Hooters but with hotter girls. Just in case you're wife is the kind that objects to this sort of place.

Probably won't work for doing lunch/drinks, then. Oh well.

Looks like the blue line would get you halfway there... I've never used Amtrak in Chicago, but downtown is fine. I've walked around that area quite a bit and besides declining the invitation to open my wallet for a couple of homeless people, I've never been bothered.

And yeah, Titled Kilt is cool... better food than Hooters and the scenery is at least just as nice.

I've been to Tilted Kilt in Chicago more in the past 5 or 10 years than any Hooters... I'll always opt for Buffalo Wild Wings or any other sports bar.

Agreed. I don't do Hooters or any of the"girl" bars typically. I like my neighborhood hang out.

she's getting prices to ride up from quincy, but I don't know why...we're only 5miles from the laplata Amtrak station. I guess i'll mention it to her.

thanks,

Trust me...you do not want to haul/roll a suitcase for a mile + through Chicago. Download a free app on your phone for the transit lines (the "l") and take the train. The app is really handy. It shows you all the stops and tells you how long your wait until the next train is.

All times are GMT -6. The time now is 12:24 PM.
