I’ll be spending a few nights near O’Hare airport starting on the 20th. Anything in that part of town worth checking out?
 
Pyramid Sports Bar is about 22 minutes away. They have a bunch of 9’ Gold Crowns and food is OK.
Red Shoes is about 40 minutes away in Alsip. One Pocket and Banks.
Chris’s is about 20 minutes away towards downtown Legendary Room.

Traffic can suck around the airport at rush hour, 3pm - 6pm

Last fall I had an early return flight after a trip to WI so booked a hotel convenient to ORD and north side/ north suburbs the night before. Chris’s was reasonably close and I checked it out. But where do you park. I couldn’t figure out if there was a lot you could use and some signs seemed to prohibit it in different areas. Wasn’t there long enough to need to figure it out. as I found street parking. For future reference, after getting a SuperDawg up Milwaukee Avenue, where do you park?
 
Member Chicago on here would be a great source of info. I turned my friends on to her for help at the last second, and not only was she a great help, but they all got together for a concert the next day and have been friends since. She is very knowledgeable on the present and past pool scene there.

All along Milwaukee Ave. You may have to walk a block.

Hi Easy, Chris’s is the easiest and closest room to O’hare. Pool Sharks is private but I’m sure arrangements could be made.
 
So you’ve never been to Chicago…

It’s funny Patrick, My neighbors in Chicago asked me where I’ve lived that felt the safest. Chicago hands down. They were thinking about moving.

I’ve lived in various rural towns and also Atlanta, Wichita, ks, Denver, co, Oakland, ca.

Chicago is the safest place I’ve lived.
 
I have spent a lot of time in Chicago and never had a problem.
The week I spent there during the triple Cicada hatch was epic.
