Coming into the city during afternoon rush hour, the skyway will be your best bet. But, there is some construction so expect delays.
Early: Where'd she go? Simon: I can't keep track of her when she's not incorporeally possessing a space ship. Don't look at me.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: San Francisco, May 19-21, 2006! Everything else, go here! Swag!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Thanks, ChiKat. I probably should mention that I drive I-94 every day, everything is under construction here, too, and that once it took me six hours to drive from Chicago to Kalamazoo due to flooding and torrential rainstorms, so I have a pretty high bar for "bad".

I don't mind slow-going traffic as long as it's going. But, one Sunday evening, it took me 2 hours to get from Merrillville, Ind. to the Illinois state line--that usually takes 30-45 minutes. I was going bugfuck just sitting on the skyway. I finally got off and took side streets home. I was going slow, but at least I was GOING.

If you're coming in this afternoon, you've got a good chance of "torrential rainstorms," as well as a tornado or hail--nasty weather today!

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Here's what my dad said:
Well, we still take I-196 to I-94 to I-80/94 to I-294.
Construction still on I-80/94. You can check http://www.gcmtravel.com/ for info and video feeds.
To me, it's more about timing than route.
Avoid the highways between 3pm and 7pm if you can. Closer to 5pm you are, the worse it is. Travel to Illinois at the end of the week (Thurs/Fri) and back to Michigan on Sunday or Monday. That way you miss the weekend vacationers going to South Haven and the like.

Because books.
Is the city vote happening, or has it been postponed? I don't want to miss it, but I had a vague recollection it should be happening around now.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I think it was pushed out to allow for the Seattle and Phoenix info being gathered.
I have two bids and a hysterical screaming orphaned 3 week old kitten in my lap. I don't see being able to do much for the next little bit.

Poor baby kitty! God, three weeks. So wee.
