Transit info: O'Hare (or Midway) to Palmer House Hilton

[David Powelstock]

Well, as a Chicago guy, I should field this one:

It couldn't be easier.  Take the blue line of the CTA (also called the El)
into Downtown (also called the Loop) from O'Hare.  (It costs $1.50.  It
departs from the basement level of O'Hare, roundabout the Continental
terminal.  There are signs.)  Get off at the Monroe and Dearborn station.
(About 40 minutes.)  Walk 1 block east on Monroe to State.  You'll see the
hotel on the corner on the far side of State.  The main entrance is on
Monroe, just past State.  The address is 17 E. Monroe.  Can't wait to see
everyone there!

Best,
David
