metra

If you're planning on heading into the Heights this weekend, perhaps for the Health and Fitness Expo at MetraPark, keep in mind that Fourth Avenue does have a couple of lanes closed. It doesn't start until around 23rd Street, so it isn't terrible, but Zimmerman Trail may be more appealing for some...

The Metra is a great facility, so don't take this as a complaint so much as a note in the suggestion box. I took the kid out to MontanaFair on Saturday night and had to park in the upper lot above the arena. I didn't mind the walk considering I've been to lots of fairs with much less to offer where you drop 10 bucks to park in a field somewhere...
