if you lack the ability to weave through 3 or 4 lanes going in the same direction while maintaining the crawl of traffic–in other words, drive like a cabbie–then do yourself and everyone else a favor by taking public transportation when you’re in the Loop or on Mag Mile. i’m not saying this to be mean. i’m just telling it like it is.

drive in Morse Hell Hole? i used to live in Morse Hell Hole!
Ha! I just read the above comment! Whoops!
I would glady take a taxi any day rather than try to drive in downtown Chicago…especially not being used to it.
There used to be a computer game — Midtown Madness! — with a reasonably accurate model of The Loop and Lakeshore Drive. I’ve driven in the actual Chicago about as often as in the virtual Chicago, and I didn’t do too well in either. I promise to stay off the streets next time I’m in town.
Midtown Madness–that sounds familiar. i’m used to driving through downtown and Michigan Ave., but there’s no point because parking is too expensive.
i go to the Water Tower area once or twice a week, but it’s during the day on weekdays and i know where the open meters are in the area.
