DIRECTIONS TO THE PARTY

From Chicago and Interstate: Take I-88 west to I-355 north. Proceed north on 355 to the North Ave. (IL Rt. 64) exit. (Or, if you are coming from the north, take I-355 south to the North Ave. exit.) Take North Ave. east to the first light at IL Rt. 53 (North Columbine Ave.). Turn right (south) and go approx. 1 1/2 miles south to St. Charles Rd. Turn left at the light and go east to 123 W. St. Charles, on the south side of the road just past Lincoln St. (if you reach Park Ave., you have gone too far). Look for a condo building with the Re/Max agency in it - it's across the parking lot from the condo building with Capone's restaurant (formerly Texan BBQ) in it. Park in the lot (should be plenty of space) or, if necessary, on the street. The door to the residential part of the building is the one near the street but facing the parking lot, not the one on the street (Re/Max) nor the one facing the lot but further from the street ("Woman's Choice Services"). The door is controlled access: Visitors need to dial 002 on the buzzer board to ring our phone to be let in.

Locally (DuPage County, avoiding I-355): Take IL Rt. 53 (Rohlwing Rd./ Columbine Ave./etc., not the expressway) north or south to St. Charles Rd. (if taking 53 north, turn right on St. Charles) and head east to 123 W. St. Charles (see above directions.)

Via Public Transit: The Lombard Metra (Union Pacific West Line) station is on the other side of Michael McGuire Dr. from the parking lot.
