I also realized how amazingly quick it all comes back to me when I get there. Weaving in and out of traffic with the best of them.

Chicago driving isn't that hard.

No, really. It's gotten worse over the last 10 years or so on which I blame cellphone usage, but the trick is (and always has been) to know where you're going. Things happen fast in Chicago traffic so you have to know in advance what you're going to do. The line of traffic behind you isn't going to wait for you to figure it out; the time for that was when you were still at home planning your trip. There isn't a window-mounted GPS fast enough to handle the inbound Ike or the Tri-State, and you'd better know where the construction is happening before you leave, because I guarantee you it's happening
somewhere.
