Thalia Hall
1807 S Allport StOnly 1 mile away…we recommend driving or ride share to get here.
3.5 Miles Away... Ride Share is likely the fastest and cheapest way to get there. Traffic through downtown is highly likely.
Public Transit is roughly a ~20 minute bus ride, but also involves a 15 minute walk. If you drive there, parking is costly and still requires a lengthy walk.

McCormick Place
2301 S King DrNeighborhood Walk
Taylor Street is the best walking street to see our local businesses and
people out and about.
Otherwise, I would recommend Polk St for a quiet neighborhood walk to the park. Arrigo and Vernon Parks are great and Garibaldi is the closest playground for kids.
