Arlington Heights,

I spent some time at the Arlington Heights, Illinois Metra Train
Station in May 2006. I attended the National Restaurant Association show in Chicago,
and instead of staying overnight at a downtown hotel, I wanted to be a few miles away
where I could ride the Metra system a little. Arlington Heights has a nice, newer
station located in the heart of their central business district.
