I would not recommend a female from out of town take the Blue Line to the stop nearest the Untied Center walking around that neighborhood sometimes is not good. I do it but I have lived in Chicago since 1963 and I look over my shoulder all the time. At either airport you can get downtown with to Blue(Ohare) or Orange line (Midway). You can buy a one day fun pass for about $6.00 and ride buses and trains unlimited for 24 hours. They also sell a three day fun pass also. This is the cheapest way to get around. A one way fare is $2.25 so if you get the train at the airport and then go out you will save money. You have to pay exact change on the bus and train. Also the pass machines you have to pay exact also. The machine dose not give change. Susan

I wish I could cancel that CD too...didn't use the passcode. How did you cancel it?
I appreciate the travel advice, as I haven't lived in a big city in 6 years and am out of practice with the public transportation. Luckily my friend from NY will be with me
