Chicago-area Clowns: Airport Help . . .

KSig RC · #1 11-20-2003, 03:10 PM

Hey guys,

I'm flying out of O'Hare in a couple weeks, in one of the more bizarre plane schedulings ever (don't ask, gift) . . . Anyone know of any decently-priced "Park and Fly" type places? I don't particularly care about the location/time to get to the airport, cheap is best, and etc etc.

Thanks a ton,
RC

I don't know how much of a time difference it'd be for you to drive out here vs. to Chicago (I'm guessing not much - it takes 3 hours to get from downtown DBQ to downtown Milwaukee) but there's a relatively cheap Greyhound bus that you can take from the Milwaukee bus station, and I think there's a decent priced parking garage near there.

It's probably about the same, but Dubuque is a little over an hour north of where I am.

Anyway, what I'm really looking for is a park/sleep/fly type place that will let me book the 'sleep' part on the back end, as I get in late . . . I can park it for 9 bucks/night just about anywhere, but I'm more concerned about getting out after the late return.

Thanks though, dude.

When I saw this thread I thought that you were posting about CLOWNS at the Chicago Airports. I have a serious clown phobia and may have a layover in Chicago in my way to DC so I was a little traumatized. However damasa the JER laughed at me about it.

I have seen the type of deal you are talking about in Portland. Perhaps call some of the local Super 8, Motel 6 kind of places and ask? The place I went had a deal where you could park your car, get a room, and a ride to the airport, and back again.

OK so I totally misinterpreted what you meant. Maybe you could hit up the KSigs at Northwestern?

I'll ask my aunt, she lived in Chicago for a long time and might now. Also, are you anywhere near the fabulous Clinton, Iowa? I was just there for a wedding!

Just a word of notice: The Kappa Sig chapter at NW was shut down by our Supreme Executive Committee over the summer...while there are still brothers at the school, it will just be harder to find them as there is no more house.

Exactly. The brothers of the former chapter are still alive and well, just a little bit underground
