PARKING
We have always found it more convenient to Uber/Lyft/taxi around the city (especially if you are already staying downtown), but we understand some guests will be coming in from the suburbs. There are two garages conveniently located near the venue: across the street is the James Kilmer garage, and down North Avenue is the Piper's Alley/Second City garage. The SpotHero app is also useful for finding parking at multiple locations, and you may be able to find street parking as well.
