    Gotta be on a motorcycle again. West from his home, sounds like once again headed across the Mississippi River.

    Like staed previous, sounds like OshKosh, WI.
    Been to a Fly In there many years ago.
    Quite interesting.

    Is that the one named after Billy Mitchell ?

    Or the flatlands around Rockford?

    Rockford is to far west. I know there are a lot of sub's but it adds to the fun. This one gave up land to build on.

    Was tempted to think Meigs Field, Chicago.
    But, I was NOT aware that Meigs Field
    no longer exists, as an airport! Otherwise, I have no idea!

    Now, it kind of sounds like Chicago O'Hare Int'l.
    Surrounded by the Jane Addams and Tri State Tollways.
    As well as several railroads in the area. Those I came across include:
    CSX
    UP
    CP

    A quick look at this point, since I woke up briefly.
    Now, I'm headed BACK to sleep for a while.

    ...village... Hmmm. I've never been there, but seems like the Chicago area is surrounded by such settlements. Yikes.

    Or are we at Chicago Midway Int'l Airport instead?

    With the CTA Metra Subway, Orange Line and yard, right at the immediate eastern side of the airport.
    Right next to the Midway Shuttle drop off point
    And just north of the Belt Railway of Chicago, consisting of the following railroads:
    Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation
    Canadian National
    Canadian Pacific Railway
    CSX Transportation
    Norfolk Southern Corporation
    Union Pacific
