Way out of Chicago after hours? And distance from Greyhound bus station to House of Blues? -

I plan to attend a concert at the house of blues on 11/17. This Tuesday. The concert starts at 8pm and goes till 11 or midnight.I don t have a car. I looked it up and I m going to take a greyhound bus that leaves at 5:30 from milwaukee. Is the greyhound or amtrak train better?My issue, is getting back home. First, how far is the walking distance from the station to the house of blues? It said I should get into Chicago by 7:15 or something.Second, I looked it up, but is there anyway of me getting back to Milwaukee after hours? Being Midnight to 3 am? And why not, hows the neighborhood inbetween the two places? Am I gonna have to kill a *****?

Welcome to Yahoo Answers!If you re gonna have to kill a *****, do it in Milwaukee. Chicago doesn t need an out of towner on a killing spree.Maybe a ***** is a homeless guy. There will be plenty around the bus station. In fact you may be one of them because you are without a way back to cheeseland until 7:50 AM on 11/18. Maybe one of your new buddies will share his bag of wine...enjoy.Forget Megabus. Its last bus to beer city is at 10:30 pmHmmm, someone mentioned AMTRAK to or from Barrington. There is no such route.You could take AMTRAK like you should have taken to Chgo. Your wait in Union Station will last until 6 AM when the Hiawatha heads north. Guess what? Because of you homeless people, Union Station is closed from midnight to 5:30 AM...out on (or below) the streets!I guess you will enjoy the blues at Marina Towers. You ll be remembering the blues you had after the House of Blues concert. Maybe you ll be singing the blues about it.There s one more way back to dairyland...METRA will get you to WI...but only to Kenosha. The last train leaves Ogilvie Transportation Center at 12:35 AM. Got any friends or relatives that will pick you up at 2:15 AM?The House of Blues has a hotel. Stay overnight in a wildly decorated room at the Amalfi:http://www.amalfihotelchicago.com/best-r��

Amtrak is the best bet get off at Barring ton take the 600 or 606 to to Wood field mall transfer to Cumberland El.Get off at Fullerton Ave. Walk to Lincoln Ave. a couple of blocks your right there. Allow enough time for travel so your not late. Enjoy the show you mite have to spend the night because trains leaving at that hour su.. so head to the next best Blues Lounge at North Ave , Dam-en, and Milwaukee .The Buddie Guy,s Lounge open till two AM.Subterranean down the street go home in the mourning unless you meet some one Best of luck.

Scott, you have to pay to play. Take a cab. It s worth the money becuase HOB is a general admission venue. Why give up your place in line for a few bucks? And I mean $7-8 here, not a fortune.It s about 1.25 miles and there really isn t a good bus directly inbetween the greyhound station and the HOB.As for being dowtown in the middle of the night, hey, this is the big city, stuff happens. But where that particular show is, is a very nice neighborhood but it does empty out during non-business hours. While Marina City is a condo, it s the only one around there.Did you check out Amtrak? (I keep getting kicked out, so I can t get a link for you, but wow! the guy below me is sending you on a 2 day journey! Get out at Union station which is actually even closer than the Greyhound station!)megabushttp://www.megabus.com/us/schedules/chic��
