Hey, sorry about the sunburn. I had spf45 on my face, and never uncovered my arms. 'tis the season! That area around Navy Pier is dicey. Too many people and vehicles, nobody knowing exactly where they're going...

I took the route you describe, up Jefferson, over to DesPlaines when Jefferson ended, to the Milwaukee/Chicago intersection. I think Elston is about 1/2 a block over to the west. When I went up May and turned left, there was Elston. One more time, and I should look like I know what I'm doing!
