Your time frame for the traffic is off. It is now $10 to cross the Skyway and take the Indiana Toll Road to 65. I94 will generally add 10-15 minutes to your trip. So I found it generally is not worth the cost of taking the Skyway and Indiana Toll Road, except maybe from 4-6 on a weekday. The Ryan is always the worst part of the trip, and that in part is shared by both routes.OP when you go home I promise that if it is anywhere between 2 and 7pm you will save anywhere from a half to an hour taking the toll way rather than the freeway to 65 no matter what your GPS tells you.
Downtown has such a weird vibe now, I grew up in the city and took advantage of all the entertainment I could from my late teens to my mid 30's. Be it 3pm or 5am I always felt safe and it was all about fun, things started changing a couple of years before covoid. After dark now I am uncomfortable and just want to get the hell out of there. When I talk to co workers, family, and friends they all feel the same way. Leading up to Christmas I had to be downtown a couple of times, they literally had a cop car parked every couple of blocks with all their flashing lights on and lots of cop cars patrolling also with all their flashers on. It was surrealistic and bizarre. Downtown was packed and I just kept asking myself why anyone would enjoy that experience.
Hah...actually I've been using this username for various logins since well before I knew a thing about guns. When I was a kid I thought 2223 was my lucky number, and I kept using it for logins because mbills was never available.****, if nothing else, mbills should be banned for choosing "223" over "556".
What the hell is it with people these days?
That is not really a path I would recommend for a tourist. It's not a straight marked path. Depending upon exactly where they are staying it could even take a lot longer.Stony Island to the Skyway? At least it's unlikely you'll get caught in any traffic jams, but the drive to get to the Skyway may be a bit creepy (although the Dan Ryan may be worse). Keep an eye peeled at stoplights!
That is my commute home almost every day during rush hour for the past 10 years. Taking the Ryan and it is at least 20 minutes more than GPS says, Take the Skyway and I am home at least 15 minutes sooner than GPS says. Ryan used to be the bottleneck but now traffic is a mess until 159th St. This is far worse than it used to be, one explanation would be the huge influx of people moving to Indiana and driving into the city but they are not exiting the highway at 159th.

Heh. In fact, my best friend since high school in the Chicago suburbs gave me a ride back from Chicago last Wednesday after I dropped off my late wife's car to my son. His "excuse" for the trip? Nothing down here compares to Chicago pizza. Of course, we ate our pizza in Crown Point, but . . .Come on now.....
There is some great pizza in that ****hole.....but that ain't it!
That's what it's all about man. Wife and I got a hotel in Columbus, IN a while back...ordered food, watched movies and just spent time together. One of the best trips we have had together and didn't do ****.This went about as expected.
Hotel does not require it. Will try our luck at various places that may or may not ask. Take-out and quality time in the hotel room.
Probably. Mbills is pretty dumb, so he doesn’t do well with big words.Did I use too many $10 words?
There is as long as it isn't "****cago style".Come on now.....

When all this BS came out, a PDF of the actual CDC vax card was easily found online.Are these places accepting a photo of someones vax card on their phone as proof? If so making your own at home shouldn't be to difficult. Have it on your phone so actual paper thickness doesn't come into play.
yes, a photo works per the link op provided.Are these places accepting a photo of someones vax card on their phone as proof? If so making your own at home shouldn't be to difficult. Have it on your phone so actual paper thickness doesn't come into play.

Twas mine as well from 2005 until Covid.That is my commute home almost every day during rush hour for the past 10 years. Taking the Ryan and it is at least 20 minutes more than GPS says, Take the Skyway and I am home at least 15 minutes sooner than GPS says. Ryan used to be the bottleneck but now traffic is a mess until 159th St. This is far worse than it used to be, one explanation would be the huge influx of people moving to Indiana and driving into the city but they are not exiting the highway at 159th.

Not true. What you have are chain restaurants with the name of restaurants in Chicago.That's true (depending on where in Indiana you are). The best Chicago pizza restaurants do have locations in Indianapolis as well as in north-eastern Indiana
noone checks. no one cares. You'll get a karen every once in a while over masks but in my experience. Look them in the eyes, make a smartass remark and they'll get scared ****less. I have never been asked about the vax except at work because of certain jobsite requirements. They asked , I told my boss the truth, he lied on my behalf. No one ever asked for proof.So, the Mrs and I are going to Chicago at the end of the month for a quick birthday getaway for her. (Don't try and talk me out of it...it's happening.) The problem is their new "fully vaccinated" mandate that went in to affect on Jan 3, 2022. I have had zero Covid shots, and plan to keep it that way. We won't even be able to get dinner the way I'm reading things.
I recently tested positive for the Rona and wonder if I could show that and say I had to wait to get vaxxed? Thoughts? Suggestions?

I always recommend telling the truth but in this case people should stick it to The Man!And to the OP: Hypothetically, it would very easy to download a blank vaccine card pdf or jpg, add your name to it and upload a copy to your phone. I would never suggest doing something illegal, but you certainly wouldn't get caught if using it at restaurants.
Good luck. Report back.This went about as expected.
