IndyFrisco wrote:Yeah, we went most places in cabs even though she had a car. She did take us to the airport in her car though since it was Ohare and not Midway, a much longer cab ride and $$$ from Lincoln Park. She said she would always call her house and leave herself a message of the address she parked her car though because so many times she had forgotten where she had parked.
