Added the W Hotel to the list. I walked around on Google Maps and didn't see any parking garages near the Quizbump, but the pictures aren't always the most recent. I kinda feel like the parking garage is right across the street from Quizno's, but I might be lying...

sorry, i should've been more specific.  across the alley there is a garage door, when it opens you can get into the garage, I skated down their for a decent hour without getting kicked out.  and to get out just follow a car that's leaving the building

Winthrop Harbor?! Daaamn! That's a hike.
You could always do what I did and hide in the toilet the whole ride or lay across the luggage racks on the 2nd floor. If you get caught you just pay the fare.

Aw man, I'd be down to skate. I could drive(depending on the spots you plan on going to, parking might be a pain in the ass). I should warn you, all my go-to tricks are gay and I suck these days...

Sorry. When I hear North Chicago only 2 things come to mind:
1) Navy
&
2) Sanabels(sp?), ghetto ass liquor that didn't card. Got robbed there 3 times.

No worries, the school is pretty small. I prolly should stop wandering around Waukegan at night, huh? Found some cool spots though, haha.

At least not alone. Waukeegan can be sketchy in certain areas but there are parts of North Chicago that should be avoided even in the day. Granted I haven't been up that way in ages but if it's anything like it used to be watch your back.

well since the 90s footage from your hometown thread never blew up like i was hoping it would, im not going to let this golden footage go to sleep in the deep depths of the internet.  There's a shit ton of chicago footage in these videos and i think you guys will enjoy it.  You guys are blessed with an amazing looking city.  Hopefully i will be able to skate it with you guys in the near future.

theyre right under the bridge next to vienna beef. you can see them from the bank to curb if you look towards the river. you can either hop the fence or go all the way to the back of the vienna parking lot and just walk right under the bridge

head north to lake street then go a bit further into the city(turn left on lake st) and find the cta station(you will see the tracks). Get on the red line and take it to wilson. When you get off the train, head down Wilson avenue(?) towards the lake and you should hit it in a couple minutes.

from: millenium station

to: lake st cta chicago il

this should give you directions to the station if you google map it. I assumed you were taking public public transportation based on the location, but driving just get on Lakeshore Drive and go north.

Just saw that this is coming out. Wish I could go to the premier. I've been reading about this being in the works for years now and was wondering if it would ever come out.

So I see that the new street plaza (is it new?) is pretty much right near one of the most infamous neighbohoods in Chicago.  Although I think it's a decent couple of blocks from it.  Is it worth checking out?
