We were in town to see Barbra Streisand at the United Center. We have found that taking the train from Evanston to the United Center, that we save money on parking, no stress from driving to the event and trying to find a place to park. The train is convenient to The Homestead. We have stayed in downtown Chicago before when going to the United Center, but have found the pleasantness of staying in Evanston makes the train ride worth it all.

I dropped off and picked up my daughters and their friend for a concert. I paid for parking, but couldn't get back in once I had left. Word to the wise, get there super early if you're picking up, find a place to park and walk the distance. It was an absolute zoo trying to get back to find them.
