    Traveling to Chicago

    I'd actually suggest parking at either Rosemont or Cumberland (the next stops down from O'Hare). Parking at those stops is $5 for 12 hours (http://www.transitchicago.com/parking/#blueline) and a lot easier to get to/from the station compared to O'hare. OP - turn on the transit layer on google...

    Tips for Chicago

Yes, the UC area can be rough after dark but...

    Thinking About Taking the RV to Chi Town...Need Input

    Should be okay, but I wouldn't go wandering around the neighborhood at 2am. Do you know where/what lot? I'd feel safer if it was closer to the UC vs 2 blocks away. That area isn't bad, but the fact that there is basically just parking lots around (i.e. not a lot of pedestrian traffic) makes it...
