Thanks for the help!!! I guess i'll be doing some driving to Chicago then if I need my carpet fix (assuming there is on there). The good thing about that area is there isn't much traffic outside of Chicago and the roads are all highways. Around me, everything is a back road and it takes 20 minutes to go 5 miles!!
I checked out portage and it says that it is about 57 miles away from S.B., but it only takes 60 minutes to ge there. Looks like i'll have ot get a real car with better gas mileage though!!
