I believe the free trolleys are on a fall schedule now, only running on weekends from 10-6. I think the Navy Pier trolley is the only year-round, daily free trolley.

You are right....10-6.

CTA

According to the RTA trip planner, the other option is to take the #151 - Sheridan bus from Union Station (catch the bus on Canal Street) to Superior & Michigan.

SF, are you going to be joining us that night?

Ok, someone clarify for me - there are two Chicago VJ meet-ups topics?

I am coming to the meet-up on 11/8 in Gino's East Pizzeria (7-9PM) - is that the right location?

:unsure:
