I want to go to Canterbury

I live less than mile away from Canterbury and it's a $40 cab ride w/ tip from the airport. That's quite a haul from Illinois. Aren't there poker rooms in Chicago? Anywho, there are two hotels about a half a mile from Canterbury ( a long walk around the track to get you there); the Americinn Hotel (ask for the Canterbury rate) which has a waterslide (my personal favorite) or the Canterbury Inn which has a restaurant inside( 70's rooms, decent pool) . Both have shuttles to Canterbury on weekends I believe. A Mcdonalds and Culver's are next to the hotels. About 2 miles away there is a Super 8 and quite a few nasty hotels where prom kids get pregenant. Hope this helps... and no I'm not w/ the visitor's bureau. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I'm 19 so this is the closest 18+ cardroom.

Do they card you there if you look young, or are they pretty passive?

But it is only 18 (not 21) to enter.

Don't forget the pawn shop near the entrance--always a business that lowers property values...

This made me laugh really hard.

Flying Cloud is a tiny ass airport. Maybe a little more on the cabride.
