Default Hey Chi-towners!

I might be heading down to Chicagoland for the summer! I just got a job offer for a summer internship. I interviewed down there yesterday and all I gotta say is that tollway has some crazy traffic - little different than the country roads...
I might have to meet up with you guys though if I take the offer.
