Hey everyone.. Leaving out for Schaumburg/Chicago Area Tomorrow evening, Gonna be visiting some family up there and staying the weekend.. Keep an eye out for me :D Ive never been up that way North efore!

Any Traffic tips for that area? :D

 

yeah, dont drive on highways b/w 7am - 10 am and 330pm to 7 pm

 

and stay off of 290 if at all possible... make sure you make it to the mall!

 

Talking about the woodfield mall? Supposed to be like the biggest around I think.. Were gonna try to hit that up also check out gamewerx and also going to a theater for the monster fest movie thing

 

yeah thats the mall im talking about. if you get a chance also check out some of the fine dining over there... maggianos and RAM are just 2 of my favorites out here...

be careful driving up here

 

oooh RAM
beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer
dont forget the hooters

 

well, the 'hip' place now where all the poseur people go is Entourage
over-priced steaks and just average bread/circuses

skip that place or Ted's that just opened up -- stick to the consistent quality of Mortons
but yeah, RAM is a good alternative -- though Champps has better food

and that concludes today's restaurant review...

 

Sounds like you're driving over night.

If you haven't left yet I would suggest nailing it the whole way. If you leave by 8 you'll get to Schaumburg by 8 in the morning. Not very good timing, your 860 miles it appears to be will be rough if you don't get beyond the city limits by 7. If you can handle doing 80 the whole way you'll arrive in Schaumburg by 7 maybe 6.

Just depends on when you are leaving and so forth... Trust me I have made the venture from the southeast to Chicago 3-4 times. IT'S HELL when you're southeast of the city trying to get the west side or northwest.

Wow, I am curious how you are going to drive this though, google gives you a HORRID direction, driving 57 all the way through Illinois. Might be a route to avoid, no turns, nothing but empty cornfields that way. That's like 300 some miles of Illinois with nothing to keep you awake!

 

Looks like directions wise is going to be I75 from here to Nashville then I65 the rest of the way

Going to be leaving shortly im waiting on a friend to get here thats going with me..

 

yeah, y would u take 57 from the east?
65 is the way to go.

 

I don't know, that's just what the directions said off google maps. I prefer the 75 to 65 route too...

 

and stay away from the shaumburg police. They all suck !!

 

I know EXACTLY what you mean...

 

hit us up! we might be all be getting together and doing something!

i know your gonna watch the BEARS GAME!

 

The Ram is FTW... but also check out "Fox and Hounds" on Roselle rd, north of Golf rd.

 

I75 does not intersect with I65. Take I24 from Chat. to Nash. Then take I65 out of Nash. to Chi.

 

have a safe trip up here

 

Im back!! Wow what a Weekend and to BPG yes I know you take I24 when I posted earlier I just have my directions but 75 and 65 are the long main treks of the trip.

It was cold but I loved it!! The only complaint was all those Toll Booths! Lol

I saw tons of tC's up there

 

^^^yep!
we hate the toll booths as well!

 

For a While I thought they were not going to stop it was like one after another up there.. hehe..

But I loved it though. Very nice area up there traffic wasnt to bad at the times I was driving but the roads could be a little confusing at times but the tC handled its own up there and did great! :D
