What is the fastest way to get to West Hollywood during rush hour?|124522

I have to drive there from West Covina around 9 on Fridays, returning around 3, and I have yet to find a way to avoid 3 hours of traffic on the way home.

I usually take the 134 to the 210, but I_ve also tried the 10 and side streets.... still takes forever. If I left closer to 2:30 would it make much of a difference? Help!

There_s no easy way to get there quickly, although I_ve heard some people recommend taking the 10 west to La Cienega and then heading straight north.

Shoot Kim there is no good way...You might experiment
with the trains, like park in a lot out toward where you live and work you way in to the red line and so on....that_s the only thing I can think of that MIGHT work....It even might save you some money on parking (and a lot of stress)....

Take Metrolink and then the red line subway. The subway goes to Hollywood, so after that you_ll have to either take the bus or walk a few blocks.

Sorry Kim, but there are many thousands of people going the same direction you are going. It_s all a matter of having too many people in one place. Sorry, I feel for you.

If you have the means, charter a helicopter. Otherwise, you_re probably screwed.

What are some good places to see in Chicago, in your opinion?|147742

I haven_t been to Chicago in about ten years, but I_ll be headed there later this year - I know I_ll be seeing the Field Museum and the Aquarium, what else would people here recommend? I have a fear of heights, so no Sears Tower... :-)

The Art Institute is awesome, definitely go there. Make sure you get a deep dish pizza while you_re there... I went to this place called Giordano_s. And you really should go to the Sears tower... it_s really amazing and I promise it_s not scary. :)

The Bean In Millenium Park! This is also the place where Obama made his speech!

The Navy Pier is nice. Full of shops and restaurants along the water.

If you haven_t been to Chicago in ten years than you have not yet seen Millenium Park. It is a must see.
