A Note from a Neighbor

The Metra Commuter Rail Line

"Knowing that I can skip the congested rush-hour drive and relax on the train with a cup of coffee while catching up on emails is a highlight of my mornings when I commute to Chicago from Kenosha. It’s the best of both worlds — being able to live and play in the beautiful, close-knit community (and more attractive cost-of-living) Kenosha offers while having easy access to my professional obligations in the city."
