100 Routing questions & POI

Alright folks, here is the link for the 100 routing & POI's answer key. I am sure that most of you have come across or seen this doc. Anyway, I've heard that most of the geography questions in the HWC exam concentrate on downtown and poi's north of it, while the city exam puts more emphasis on the south side of the city. It doesn't mean that being perfect in this 100 routing will do the job, whereas, knowing the locations of the hotels, hospitals, theaters, museums, buildings, transit stations and so on....... IS CRUCIAL TOO.

I am posting three docs today.

1. CLICK HERE for Downtown street grid numbers (coordinates):

Covers most streets locations in downtown, memorizing them can be overwhelming, so don't panic. But here is an idea, for instance, the streets south of Madison which runs east and west are: Monroe, Adams, Jackson, Van Buren, Congress.


You can memorize the first alphabet of every street, where in this case it would be: M,M,A,J,V,C. So, no big deal! Likewise, apply the same concept for the major streets, starting from North side Howard St all the way to Madison, then Halsted st all the way to Cumberland.

Later on, if anyone ask you what is the major intersection near  6550 N and 1200 W then you should be able to answer that.

2. CLICK HERE for Downtown street map: shows the direction of the streets, one-way, two-way, etc.
