Directions:
  • Metro is located on Clark almost across the street from Wrigley Field. (Metro is slightly to the north) The closest major cross street is Addison. There is an Addison exit on I-90/94. If you head east for a couple of miles on Addison, you'll run into Wrigley Field. That'll be Clark street. Turn left onto Clark and you should be able to spot Metro's marquee.

    Now good luck finding parking! Most spots on the street have parking meters that must be fed until 9:00 PM. I usually surrender $6 to one of the pay lots in the immediate area just to avoid the bother of driving around looking for a spot.

Hotels/B&B's in the area:
  • If you want a nice hotel, stay in the downtown area. If you want a cheap motel that's in an area that's not too sleazy (well, a little bit) there's some on Lincoln Ave if you travel to the far northern part of the city. I hear some of them have hookers hanging around from time to time, but other than that they're okay.
Pubs in the area:
  • There are numerous bars around the area of Metro. You'll have your pick of many, but they'll be full of yuppies and most likely overpriced. Delilah's is a good punk bar to visit after the show perhaps...it's on Lincoln just south of Diversey. From Metro, go west on virtually any major east/west running street and you will hit Lincoln Ave. turn left and follow Lincoln southeast to Diversey and find parking...the parking situation is usually much better than the area surrounding Metro.
