Getting Around Chicago
Chicago is laid out like a grid, which makes it easy to find
one's way around. Point zero is located at the corner of State
Street (running north-south) and Madison Street (running east-west)
in the heart of the business district. Go north approximately
one city block from there, and you will be at 100 N.; go north
two blocks - 200 N., and so on. The same holds true for south,
east, and west blocks. So, 3600 N. Clark (Wrigley Field) is approximately
36 blocks north of Madison, and 565 W. Adams (Chicago-Kent) is
located a little over five blocks west of State.
There are many forms of public transportation that can take you
almost anywhere in Chicago, so it is not necessary to have a car
if you live in the city. If you do plan to bring one, however,
please consider street parking availability and garage parking
costs when selecting where to live.
