Grace O'Malley's on South Michigan Avenue near 14th Street in Chicago.
If we’re going to go to a concert in Chicago, you know I’m going to find someplace nearby for a pre-concert meal. J and I were meeting my brother and his wife near Soldier Field for the Kenny Chesney concert. Both of us decided to take public transportation due to the horrendous parking around Soldier Field. My brother took the Metra Electric Line from Univerity Park and J and I took the El Orange Line from Midway. Both trains have a stop near Roosevelt Street.
From the train stops, Grace O’Malley’s is less than a half mile walk south on Michigan Avenue. For my brother and his wife, it was a horrible walk. It was pouring rain. By the time J and I got off the CTA, the rain had stopped. I had made 1:45 reservations and had everything been on time, we would have arrived just before the reservation. Instead, some punks decided they were going to tag our train while it was stopped at the 35th Street Station. The conductor had to get out and chase them away. We were sitting in the station for ten minutes while all this went on.
My brother and sister-in-law got to the restaurant and got our table just as were were turning down Michigan Avenue. It was a little over a two block walk for us, but we found Grace O’Malley’s on the west side of Michigan Avenue in the middle of the 1400 block. Read the rest of this entry »
