This is a pretty decent Metra station located off Route 45 in Vernon Hills. There are two areas to…read morewait if the weather is not the best. And the location is right by a housing division so it's not creepy at all. However, there is no bathroom so make sure to take care of business beforehand. Also, traffic on Route 45 in the morning can get pretty backed up so be sure to leave with plenty of time to spare. If you're trying to get on the 7:11 morning train and miss it there is a train at 7:19 so you don't need to try to outrun the train. Let's face it. That's not a smart idea at all.

I'm reviewing a Metra station. Here goes. This Metra in Vernon Hills serves the North Central line…read morefrom Antioch to Union Station. The North Central line is great for those working in the city during the week. The rush hour trains are enough and are evenly spaced despite not being an extremely frequent train schedule. I see a lot of riders at the 6:24am and a hearty crowd at the 5:50am for those extreme early birds. I've taken that train a few times and got my morning tea fix soon after arriving. The return schedule is equally spaced with trains running about an half hour or so apart. The 4:24pm train is popular while the 5pm and later tend to be less full. The ride from Vernon Hills to Union Station generally takes an hour. I enjoy my ever growing list of podcasts to listen to on my way home. The podcasts Things Your Mom Never Told You, Reply All, Radiolab, The Longest Shortest Time, Liar City, and David Steinberg entertain me the most during this ride back to the burbs. Though a previous reviewer called this station's location "creepy" with a subdivision nearby, I call it well placed. See, this Metra stop off of US 45 serves the south side of Vernon Hills into Lincolnshire. Near this station, there are at least three subdivisions: Deerpath, Stone Fence, and Centennial Crossing within walking distance or short drive/drop off/pickup. On the other side of Fairway Drive, there's a huge housing development towards Lincolnshire as well as Mundelein in the opposite direction. It's location is perfect for those living on this part of Vernon Hills. When returning home, the parking lot is always full and teaming with cars. So, Metra is doing something right by this location. During the summer, this station is also home to the farmer's market and a festival. So, it's not all that bad as a reviewer described. Now, the amenities of this station are lacking compared to Buffalo Grove and Wheeling's Metra stops. There's no soda machine or cafe for a early morning caffeine fix. Yes, those would be nice. It doesn't seem to be a problem for the passengers arriving with full travel mugs of coffee or a trusty Dunkin Donuts cup in hand. There's no WiFi too. If they installed this, I think it would be the biggest improvement to this station since it sees its fair share of commuters. Like other stations, there's a warming center on each side with a speaker system alerting the next train and pay boxes for the ridiculously cheap parking in the lot. On snowy mornings like today, the sidewalks were being cleared of snow by workers. Generally speaking, it's a sparse Metra train station with not the greatest of schedules. It's a perfect downtown Chicago commuter line and station. It has just enough to get to the city and get you back in comfort.

This airport is small (to me) considering how large the city of Chicago is and a little outdated. There isn't much room to move in the gates. There are a few stations for charging devices, but when flights are delayed, there are definitely not enough. More outlets or charging stations would be beneficial. There are plenty of food options for meals and snacks. The car rental pick up process is also fairly smooth and easy to get to via train. A decent airport, but needs more charging areas.

If you're waiting for anything, there's not a ton of restaurant options for its size, and during prime time, it can be tough to find somewhere to sit. If you're arriving and exiting, you really need to know where you're going. Getting a rental vs an uber or going to parking can be confusing if you don't know what you're doing. An airport isn't necessarily a place to enjoy yourself, but in the event you have to do so, your choices are minimal here.
