Chicago meetup MAP -- Locals check it out!! (final one)

So I'm working on a nifty map to help people get to the hotel and the Threadless spots. BUT I don't live there so I'm very dependent on the Chicago transit site.

Sooo check this out, tell me if I did something crazy or if I missed something. I'm not doing all the touristy spots, sorry.

Final:

This was a PDF in the group e-mail.

you rock...i was looking at all the maps online and was like...um...wat? this is much better! thanks!

telaine on Sep 04 '08 at 8:29pm

thanks!

What's kinda lame is going so far south on the blue line to get to the loop and then going back north to the hotel. So if a local knows a better way, lemme know!!

telaine on Sep 04 '08 at 8:34pm

oh duh, I should have just used the trip planner on the transit site

note to self:
From O'Hare airport, add blue line stop at Montrose, take 78 bus east to Clark St. and 22 bus north to hotel

If there are any simple points of interest you would like me to add, let me know today :-)

Whoa, you put a lot of work into that!

martiandrivein on Sep 05 '08 at 11:07am

word... thanks a bunch...this could be helpful

telaine on Sep 05 '08 at 11:11am

thanks! Please let me know if anything is worded confusingly or if I did anything else dumb!

And I was selfish in plotting a lot of places that I'm interested in so I'm open to more suggestions :-)

valorandvellum on Sep 05 '08 at 11:11am

Yeah, this will be great for the meet up n00bs and people like me who get lost everywhere they go! :-P

Zatch on Sep 05 '08 at 11:55am

Zatch on Sep 05 '08 at 11:56am

FRICKINAWESOME on Sep 05 '08 at 1:33pm

this is great! i love that O'Hare is a paper airplane.

mmmm...cupcakes.

telaine on Sep 05 '08 at 1:39pm

Liz and I loved that place when we went in February :-) They have swings as seats!

telaine on Sep 05 '08 at 3:29pm

bump for suggestions

i liked the first map because it was simple. but the second map will probably help me more overall.

i get lost every single time i travel alone. it's scary! i'll keep these maps in my wallet and show it to strangers in hopes of landing at one of the major points.

chelly on Sep 05 '08 at 3:42pm

...preferably the cupcake shop

telaine on Sep 05 '08 at 4:33pm

yeah, it got a little busier ... I wasn't sure if people would rather just take the trains or if they would mind chasing a couple buses to make the trip a little shorter maybe

I have caught a few teeny typos on it so there will be one more update tonight. Last chance to get any places added!

I really want a Molly cupcake now.

2 days later

t4sh4 on Sep 08 '08 at 9:41am

should I bring my tomtom just in case? I remember last year will killyou and I got lost.....we got a cop car ride out of it though! :p

telaine on Sep 08 '08 at 9:59am

I'll have mine just in case, too. It didn't always work well while walking under train tracks tho. :-)

t4sh4 on Sep 08 '08 at 10:17am
