    Be weary of the entrance to union station from the red line subway... The Wetzel Pretzel wind is a diet killer

    Make sure you use the senior shuttle (if you're eligible), as you can get aboard a bit early.

    The 'restrooms' on the platforms have always been questionable. Try the ones inside the station.

    The taxi drivers on the cab rank are a bunch of halfwit gunts who have no idea of the way around their city. Especially the rude asses working for that yellow firm. You're better off calling a cab.

    Despite it being 2011, the parking lot here does not accept any sort of cards as payment. They do, however, accept checks. So, I guess bring your checkbook.
