When we go to Chicago, we drive to the SW suburbs, then use public transportation.
We typically stay out near Willowbrook, drive into the 54th/Cermak Pink line, where
we can find free parking after rush hour, and take the train back to our car after evening
rush hour. It's mostly about visiting the Art Institute. The CTA trains are featured in my
novel, and one chapter is called, *A Pink Line to Burritos*. Maybe you could read my book.

By the time they'd finished and showered, it was nearly eleven o'clock, and Ian had
announced that he was finally going to get his burrito. They checked out, and slowly
ambled to the El station. When Winter heard that they were taking the Pink train, she
said, €œOf course.€�
€œWhat?€� asked Ian. €œIt's the one that goes there.€�
€œIt would be. You know, I managed to get us a room for the way home.€�
€œRight now, I'm thinking about burritos.€�
Winter gave his arm a slight shove, €œYou know what, Ian? I actually believe you.€�
