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

[David Powelstock]

Dear John,

I'm sending my answer to your query to the list, for obvious reasons.  If
you are flying into MIDWAY AIRPORT, instead of O'Hare, you will take the
ORANGE line of the CTA (El) into the Loop.    The Orange line comes into the
Loop, then makes a clockwise circle.  You should get off at Madison/Wabash
station, 3/4 of the way around the Loop.  From here, you will walk one block
south to Monroe, then 1/2 block west to the Palmer House at 17 E. Monroe.
VERY IMPORTANT: The Madison/Wabash station is closed on Sundays, so if
you're leaving on Sunday, you'll have to use the Adams/Wabash station, which
is 1/2 block east and one block south of the hotel. The El stop at Midway
involves a long walk across a kind of bridge from the airport to the
station.  You'll have no trouble finding this.  Midway is very small.  Just
ask anyone.  I believe there are signs, as well.

Best,
David
