I'll be around Chicago this weekend. Anyone wanting to meet somewhere with your Blomo?

remember I am in an 18 wheeler so location is important.

I prefer to run 90-290 to avoid the toll roads. But I guess I could make an exception. this will be Sunday when I come through.

You might want to bypass as much of 290 as possible.Construction zone traffic has been brutal lately.

Not sure if this is too late, but here's an option for you...

As long as you are taking Rt.90.... get off at Rt.83, and head North. (Red arrow).
The letter (A) is the "Market Place Shopping Center".
I'm thinking that you could probably park a rig there.

The red (X) is the Mt.Prospect Blues Bar.

Here is a view of the "Market Place Shopping Center".

If you want (and it's possible to park there), I can swing by the shopping center, in the BluMo, and we'll head to the MPBB for a brew....
(or a soda if you're hitting the road again right away) :P


* It is 2 miles from Rt. 90 to the shopping center... and 1.5 miles from the shopping center to the Blues Bar.

lmk.
