Smitty--sorry if I missed this, but....
are you adding in the huge possibility of
sitting in Chi-town traffic when you say......longer?

That is why we take the around town way---we could sit on the pavement for who knows how long--or we can keep moving and not getting the VAN overheated and all.....

Just checking to see if you considered the traffic issue...
and if you do cross onto Rt 12--there is a great wine and cheese shop just over the border to the east side of the road---one of our favorite stops on the way up!

sorry if this question is outta place on this thread but I'm looking for a pair of slotted mag wheels 15x10 w/5x4.5 pattern. I have some club brothers coming out to the nationals and thought MAYBE if someone had some for sale they could possibly bring them babies home.

Suzie yep I did consider the traffic that is why I'm asking if anyone from that area knows of a way around it. Thanks for the info on the wine and cheese shop though. What's the name?

If I remember it right, State Line Wine and Cheese--something on that order--border, roads, items are all in the name somehow--been a while since I went that-a-way. But we always stop! I believe they have some snack items too--a nice pit stop for a nosh.

If you get far enough west its better construction wise but there are no stop lights on the tollway north of the city we call that 294 and 94 .If you head out on 290 toward Rockford then IL 53 head up north on 12 turn off on 43/county NN and your there. 294 outbound really isn't that bad inbound or rather toward Chi-town P.M. traffic can be a nightmare.Both southbound and north have lane closures but that only means they are down to three lanes each so traffic still goes pretty good,I-94 has a little construction but as of last week north of Lake Forest it was wide open. To bottom line it, north of the city, tollway is the fastest

Thanks Hoagie--
and a correction to the store--

It is called the International House of Wine and Cheese
(there is a facebook page)
(there is a cafe)
11302 US Highway 12
Richmond IL
some reviews say the cheese case is a little small--but I think for on the way in, it serves the purpose just fine. Also, there will be more on the way.

so--it is just south of the WI/IL border--
state line, international--all is French for this NY Bad Girl! hee hee
