I've always parked in Wilmette at the Linden station, taken the purple line to Howard, transferred to the Red Line there at Howard, and taken it to Addison, and the reverse in back order. The L solves the parking dilemmas but beware, I've seen some very strange things on that train, even during the day. In the past few weeks (went to a Cubs/Twins, and Cubs/Indians game as well as two of the Brewers/Cubs games this weekend, girlfriend has season tickets in sec. 133, pretty sweet), we have seen two strung-out gentlemen fondling, and unfortunately to put it bluntly, going down on one another (seriously traumatizing), a mugging on the train, and have seen multiple instances of people trying to hustle people with sleight-of-hand gambling tricks on the train. I think I saw four or five people lose $100 bills to these guys yesterday alone. Just beware of the train, that's all I'm saying. We probably just have bad luck with picking train cars, but interesting to say the least.
