Chicago directions needed

No, not from Australia...

I'm still working on getting to Expo with the new dates and if you don't
know the city, the on-line maps are pretty useless because as soon as
you zoom out to see how far one place is from another you lose the names.

Can someone tell me how far Oak Brook Terrace is from Expo (Rosemont)
and Chicago city in driving time? (Peak and non-peak)?

Thanks a bunch!

Cheers

I just noticed you also asked about the City of Chicago - well that
really depends on what part of the city you are talking about.

Chicago is pretty big
- if you are looking to get downtown
(Sears Tower, Navy Pier, the Museuems, etc...) from Oakbrook Terrace
its about 20 miles but can take 30 minutes to an hour to make the trip.

If you have any specific sites your interested in e-mail me
- I'll give you more specifics.

Well since Touhy is named after a beer running gangster from Capone's
day - it wouldn't surprise me there was beer named after him somewhere.

Tip: get driving directions FROM oak brook terrace to rosemont. It'll
zoom the map for you automatically, and you won't lose the names.

Kind of depends. In really heavy traffic (peak), it's 40 minutes+. In
non-peak traffic, it's like 10-15, and luckily it's all highway in between
the two.

I'll bet Macman knows how to pronounce Touhy! There's a beer by
that name down under, isn't there?

Thanks everyone! They're the answers I was hoping for.

Will keep you posted on whether I can make it but since last night -
it's looking very very good!
