Metra weekend pass and student fares are your friend.

Seaman?

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...

Nah, school. It's pretty much surrounded by naval base though.

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.

haha thanks, I have a bad sense for "bad" areas to be in. I guess I'm generally lucky or get left alone cuz I dress like I'm homeless.

i skated the bank to curb by the vienna beef factory today and it was way harder to skate than it looks in video. its like the steepest thing ever. i got broke off but it was still really fun. the banks right next to it under the bridge are pretty fun too

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

There's a solid chance that I'll be in the city Tuesday night if it stays dry.

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.

Haha o shit. Did you just skate along the bike path by the lake or something? I've skated there from UIC, some of the streets along the way were absolute shit.

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?

The one in Cicero? If you go, watch your stuff. If you like ledges its cool also has a super fun bank to ledge. I think more stuff got put in since I've been there last. If its not the same one you're talking about, just disregard this message.
