I'm thinking Wisconsin State Fair, perhaps? It isn't Lollapalooza (previous week.). Milwaukee Summer fest concerts are three weekends in late June/early July. Minnesota State Fair is late August/early September, starting right after the Democratic Convention. The surge for the Republican...

What about the streetcar that serves Ybor City to downtown Tampa?

While I've taken the EB to St. Paul many times, I've never taken it back to Chicago from there (though once I took it from Seattle and traveled through the Twin Cities, quite late, eastbound) precisely because of the early scheduled departure. On the Borealis schedule, it's now no longer...

Looks like Amtrak wanted something to toot about on Amtrak Day. As expected, this is an extension of Hiawatha service already scheduled between Chicago/Milwaukee. I'm a bit surprized at the long layover scheduled in Milwaukee northbound. (Though not long at all south.) I'm also wondering how...

Photos from this week illustrate that Redcap service is ready and waiting at CUS, including right outside the Met Lounge. A friend who rode out on the Texas Eagle (and was having mobility issues) confirmed that he received baggage service and a ride to trainside from the lounge. Redcaps have...

A sign outside the door on Canal does say redcaps are available downstairs (concourse.). I don't see why anything would have changed, other than occasional short staffing, (perhaps) particularly during the height of the pandemic. A friend (and fellow member of this forum) is coming through town...

There are a couple places where you might enter. Either have the Uber drop you at Northeast corner of Jackson/Canal, then use the handicapped entrance and elevator (see photos in post #179) or use the entrance on the east side of Canal St. (See post #181) and elevator. In either case, you'll...

The "interior corridor" you reference is, actually, the outdoor walkway on Canal alongside the Great Hall. (Though there is also a door from the lounge pictured inside the Great Hall by the Grand Staircase in another photo.) I don't believe that the lounge has any picture windows facing...

I believe this is what you're thinking of, on Canal: This way to Jackson The entrance/exit to the Great Hall via the Grand staircase is also open. The second level of the Metropolitan Lounge from the Grand staircase The Jackson facing entrance/exit as seen from the Great Hall

The entrance/exit on Jackson for the Great Hall to which you've pointed is open and available. I, along with others, used it just last week. However, to my knowledge, it does not directly connect to the Metropolitan Lounge.

My answer would be a qualified yes. Though commuter waiting seating is limited in both north and south concourse atriums, there is some. I'd say a bit more on the north side. You can see some of the benches in one of my photos. Whether you'd want to remain there for an extended period of...

Do you mean Canal St? I'm not familiar with any exit directly from the lounge (even emergency only) to Jackson.

In that case, I might make a slightly different suggestion. Amtrak has an assisted boarding waiting area. Now, if you're in sleeper, I might still stick with the directions I gave to the Great Hall and Met Lounge. (There's even a ramp which will allow you to avoid stairs, though you've...

See that photo of the south atrium concourse and platform gates? That's where you'll arrive on the Metra train. Your Amtrak train will depart from the same side, just a few tracks down. You'll probably want to wait in the Great Hall for your train to be called (or the Metropolitan Lounge...

There's really no passenger crossing between tracks on the north platforms. You need to walk all the way into the concourse area along one platform to get out onto another platform. Further, in order to board Amtrak trains heading north, passengers generally have to enter through the Amtrak...

Oh, I almost forgot the Madison Ave entrance to the north commuter platforms. Many passengers use these staircases (no elevator or escalator) to directly access their trains, as well as a semi protected underground walkway to get to the concourse and South platforms/trains. It is also sort of...

Though the street is closed to vehicular traffic on Canal, the sidewalk is open and the concourse entrance on the east side of the street remains open. Entering here, you'll go down an escalator to the concourse. You can also take the elevator, which is working. Elevator from Canal St...

After walking through the food court, we're again at the Mezzanine of the Adams entrance. Here, we'll continue down another escalator to the north atrium and platforms. As you can see, there are some benches in this area for commuters awaiting trains. There is, currently, no active...
