      Lollapalooza Grant Park Concert Chicago 2009 Safe route????

      Jump to last reply Flag this topic

      My 18 year old daughter (& 3 18 year old friends) from Columbus Ohio want to attend Lollapalooza in Grant Park, Chicago the first weekend of August. She would be staying at an apt. of a friend's family on Winchester Ave about a 10 minute walk to the Brown Line. Taking the subway to the Library and walking about 10 minutes to the park.
      She got this route off google.

      Does anyone know about the safety of walking and taking the Brown line subway at midnight on a Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night? Is waiting for the subway safe? Is walking on Winchester Avenue (4800 block) safe at midnight?

      I trust the kids, just want to keep them safe as they aren't "big city" savy and don't know Chicago.
