I have an apartment in the Lakeshore East Complex – - 60601 zip. Looking for parking for a large van: 6’ 8” tall for visitors coming the 19th, 20th, 21st. It can be a cab ride or walk away. Can you help? Most garages are not tall enough so an outdoor lot with 24 hour attendant if possible is ideal.

Also WHAT TO SEE FIRST – - they’ve never been here and have such little time! But parking is the most needed issue. HELP!

Thanks for your help,

Janet Bracken

Hello Janet – The parking lot for Northwestern Hospital at 222 E. Huron has an 8’ clearance. That will be the closest location with an overnight rate of $39.

Start your sightseeing adventure by going to Millennium Park to see “Cloudgate” and stroll the grounds. Also, the Chicago Cultural Center is right across the street. The Chicago History Museum is not far and the Lincoln Park Zoo, one of the last free zoos in the country, is nearby. If they are into architecture, consider a walking tour with the Chicago Architecture Foundation. Also take a look at our Calendar of Events to see what is happening around town.

Have fun being the Tour Guide!
