This image of the Chicago Theater and taxi cab was taken on the west side of N State St. To get there, I recommend taking public transportation and then walking. Reference the GPS to get to the exact place where I stood.
By subway:
- Closest station: Lake (Red Line)
- Head north and the theater will be on your right
