I was just in your neck of the woods yesterday! I've been to Chicago 4 times last week. It was just by chance that I was able to drive through yesterday.
I was on my way from a store delivery in mid-town Chicago on up north to Skokie/Evanston to empty my truck at another store, when my dispatch called me asking me to pick up a load in Aurora coming back in. I said okay....all along knowing this would add another 3 to 4 hours to my day. And for not much more pay.
I ran from Skokie/Evanston on IL-58(Golf Rd.) west to Barrington Rd./Country Farm Rd. down through Hanover Park to IL-38(Roosevelt Rd.)....I missed my turn at IL-64
on west to Randall Rd. to Aurora.
I went through a town called Geneva before turning on Randall Rd. This looked like a tourist attraction town to me....really busy. I was intrigued by seeing people standing in the Fox River downstream of a waterfall, fishing....right in the middle of town as I sat on the small bridge in my rig. It was picturesque.
That is some really nice area up there....the suburbs. Took me 2 hours to go 60 miles to Aurora though!
Seriously though, I enjoyed my ride through the area, but had no idea where the karaoke happens. Not that I could've checked it out.
Just wanted you to know that if you had a weird feeling at about 1pm yesterday, there was an eccentric dweeb passing through your area.
