出行

The train is the easiest way to get around

18th is an 'L' station on the CTA's Pink Line. It is located at 1710 West 18th Street in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. The station is decorated with colorful murals painted by local artists from Pilsen. Various busses are also available along 18th street and Blue Island Avenue. For specific directions, please contact me. I’d be more than happy to help you find your way around.

Always bring a coat!

Weather changes rapidly. You can always take layers off!
省钱小贴士

Public transit offers daily, weekly, monthly passes

Look into CTA daily, weekly, or monthly passes to save money. Each ride individually will cost you about $3 and includes a transfer (an additional ride within the hour of first use).
