This small, unknown Metra station (the bigger neighboring ones are the Jefferson Park and Norwood…read morePark stations) is tucked at the end of Austin Blvd, south of Northwest Highway, behind a factory building. It does make you wonder how Metra finds these little spots to make a station out of. Hmm, I guess I need a history lesson. Anyways, this station is rather unused; the last morning train is at 8:30AM which is rather "early" if you consider that the Metra trains stop at Norwood and Jefferson Park stations all the way until the afternoon. Pro tip: If you decide to go to happy hour and think you can get back on Gladstone Park, you best just plan ahead and park your car either of the aforementioned stations, because the last time the Metra trains stop at Gladstone Park is 9:30PM. Speaking of parking, there are about 6 street parking spots right next to the station. The close stretch on Northwest Highway is 2-hour parking only, and the rest you have to feed the parking meter. Your best bet is parking on Austin Blvd north of Northwest Highway, or the adjacent side streets parallel to Austin, such as Mason Ave. During the winter time, the station is hit-or-miss in terms of snow removal. The little "shelter" area is quite abandoned and unkept; where there were windows in the shelter, there are no more, so you just have 2 gaping holes leaving you freezing to death as the wind blows and howls at you. Overall, not one of the better Metra stations I have toured, but it serves its purpose for the neighboring commuter folks

There are two entrances upstairs on both sides of Montrose Ave. For amenities, it has a bike rack and a Pepsi machine. A bench or maybe two, and is rather narrow (though I find that often with CTA stations). There are up escalators only, no elevators. There are transfers to busses and Metra nearby. The only real complaint I have is regarding noise. With the highway on both sides, the loudness is unpleasant. With all this, Montrose gets the job done. It's by no means a 'destination' but is easy to navigate and not unpleasant (except for being in the middle of the Kennedy Expressway).

There is also an indoor shelter large enough to fit about 50 people - perfect for those below zero Chicago winters. A ticket window is also available inside the shelter. The shelter looks a little 1980s ish and can use some remodeling, but it'll do. There are also seats available inside. Also, there is a cute little bookshelf filled with some books to read, courtesy of the Morton Grove library. Such a cute idea! Lastly, the platforms are spacious enough where people who are waiting for the train can spread out and not feel all cramped. I like this a lot because small platforms can feel a little freaky at times, especially when those speedy express trains zip right by!

CTA #90 (Harlem) bus doesn't provide the entire Harlem tour, but it provides nice sceneries of Norwood Park/Dunning/Montclare/Galewood neighborhoods that belong to the city of Chicago. Since Harlem, or Route 43, is a far-west end, north-south running road, #90 also passes through Norridge, Harwood Heights, Elmwood Park, Oak Park, and River Forest that are villages bordering the city. #90 southbound begins at the CTA Harlem Blue Line station (O'Hare branch) in Norwood Park. I guess the first major point of interest is the Halrem-Irving Plaza (HIP). This mall anchors retailers such as Kohl's, Carson's and Target. Other standalone shops can also be located in Norridge Commons. At this time, passengers can make connections to CTA #78 (Montrose) or CTA #80 (Irving Park) busses near the shopping mall. Now look at the opposite direction from the mall. "Mr. Beef" has some of the best Italian beef sandwich in the city. "Pasta Fresh," a tiny mom-and-pop shop (cash-only) near the intersections of Grace and Harlem, can give you a taste of authentic Italian home-style cuisine. My recommendation will be their amazing pesto sauce. I not only pour it on pasta, but also "drench" my omelet with a generous amount of it! As far as grocery stores go, "Angelo Caputo's Fresh Markets," on the northwest corner of Harlem and Grand (in Elmwood Park) can help you execute one-stop grocery shopping. Continue our southbound journey and arrive at North Avenue. If you would like another Italian beef sandwich, get it at Johnnie's in Elmwood Park (cash-only). This time you can also order a cup of Italian ice to go with it. We are also at the south-end terminal stop in downtown Oak Park. The bus route will end near the CTA Harlem Green Line station. There are festivals and concert series on Lake St. in Oak Park throughout the year. I'm a city gal, but Oak Park has voted one the best suburbs to live and to raise a family in the U.S. By the way, the green line El takes you to the loop and south-side of Chicago. #90 isn't very rush-hour friendly since frequently drivers utilize Harlem as the alternative instead of using the interstates. Discounting those traffic uncontrollables, I'm quite satisfied with their performance.

At the time my Ma & Pa lived in Mt Prospect near Camp McDonald & River road. I would drive to Golf Mill where I would take a bus to Jefferson Park for my trip downtown. The Jefferson Park hub is a major transportation center not just for the Blue Line Train, but all the buses that come to the terminal. In addition there is a Metra train stop at the Jefferson Park location. Back in the day when I worked downtown I relied on the Blue line for daily commute. What a nightmare to have to drive downtown, fight the traffic & then pay $30-$40 dollars for parking. Why when you can kick back on the train without all the aggravation. The train goes all the way into O'Hare to the Northwest, downtown along Dearborn then swings west to the end of the line at Forest Park.
