Coming from Milwaukee area.. would you suggest (as my map program does)... getting off 294 WAY up by Buffalo Grove (a50 -53 - 58) and coming down ... OR continue on 294 down south a bit, maybe Touhy or Ohare area?!?!? Thanks (locals) for your input ...

This is probably the best route.....
Driving Directions from Milwaukee, Wisconsin to 1155 N Swift Rd Addison, Illinois

Palatine Rd west to 53/290 isn't bad
53 South is highway although there is some construction going on but it's nearly done now.

Looking forward to meeting you
