it took one of my last orders 2 weeks to reach me. 

mine is being held up in NJ.

I live about 15-20 minutes from Hodgkins. First, it's nowhere close to Kankakee but quite close to the Western edge of the Chicago city line in Cook county. It's right off the 294 tollway.
There is a huge UPS facility. While there are homes in Hodgkins, it's mostly an industrial area. Electromotors had a huge plant there.

I'm suppose to be moving but a ROAD TRIP sounds like a lot more fun!!!

Road Trip AND Field Trip because we'll be checking out this huge facility, too!

Who else is with us ?!?!

@Desertdi There you go.  I suppose it has the biggest and best recreational facilities for packages too.  I thought Atlanta was Ground Zero for UPS but apparently things have changed.  Hodgkins is surely delaying our packages.  I never saw that name until recently.   Now it's the kiss of death if your package lands there. 

Next time I fly into Midway from the Southwest, I'm going to look for the UPS facility.

@Kachina624     You have fortitude flying into Midway!    Holy cow......the planes practically skim the roofs of cars on Cicero Avenue.     Then again, Sky Harbor is right in the middle of a heavily populated area, too!  di

@Desertdi  I go where Southwest Airlines goes.  If they don't go there, I stay home.  Huge fan of SW.

@Kachina624

It is frightening how those planes fly so close to heavily populated community areas (not industrial like ORD) . . . I honestly don't know how folks can live there/take that noise . . .

@Kachina624,   It's mostly industrial but there is a beautiful trailer park for adults only on the edge of Hodgkins near the expressway.  It's not your typical run down trailer park.  Like I said, adults only, beautiful double and single homes among beautiful trees.
