I have my second round of interviews coming up with a company in Chicago. I live in Merrillville, IN which is considered part of the greater Chicagoland region. If I get the job, I plan to probably take the South Shore to Millenium Station, and then the #20 (Madison, I think) bus over to where I work. I was looking into the CTA trains, but there aren’t any stops close to where I would be (near corner of W. Washinton Blvd. and N. Sangamon St.). Is this area considered the Loop? Or the west loop? I’m still learning more about the regions. What is crime like? Cost? What is it like commuting daily to Chicago? I’ve ridden the South Shore before, but only in the afternoon and evening. I’ve heard it can be very busy during rush hours. How is the bus system? Tips, suggestions, encouragements? I’m pretty excited. I find Chicago a bit intimidating but I really like the city and the few times I’ve been there over the past few years have been good. Plus, you can’t beat Gino’s East or Giordano’s!
Also, I forgot to mention… I would be driving to and parking at the East Chicago South Shore station.
