The Best Shortcut Streets in Chicago

           Living in Chicago, we all know the expressways are everything but express!!! Sometimes getting on the e-way will cause you to lose time, as opposed to street routes.  As a realtor in the city, I know Chicago like the back of my hand and I have found a few hidden shortcuts that I would like to share:

·        Loomis St. to Roosevelt Rd. [1400W, 1200S] (North to South)

·        Roosevelt Rd. to Sacramento Ave. [1200S, 3000W] (East to West)

·        Indiana Ave. [200E] (Quick way to get from 69^th St to 95^th St. South)

·        South Chicago Ave. at 69^th St. to 95^th  St./Torrence Ave. [400E, 9500S/2634E] (quick way to get to Indiana)
