I just permanently relocated myself to Chicago, IL (The actual city, not the burbs) in August... It is even more fun to watch ER now, becuase I can be like "I know where that is!" It's also a bit odd though...knowing I work less than 10 blocks from the real "Cook County Hospital" (which was recently rebuilt as john stroger I believe.... So I am constanly looking for their "setting" and thinking---that is NOWHERE near where they are pretending to be ...At any rate....all the major hospitals mentioned on the show, rush, st. lukes, cook county, etc are about 20 blocks west and 10 blocks south of the washington/wells "EL" stop often shown in er. (Chicago is on a "grid" system, so you always know how many blocks away you are from the "center of the city" unless your on a wacky diagonal street, of which few exist) There are in fact two medical center stops...Medical Center and Polk---both are the "blue line" not the brown/orange line they often show.... Hope they film on location in Chicago soon! (And I hope it's on a day I have off of work!) Anyone else out there from the city? |

I'm not from there but thats pretty cool. I wouldn;t mind living in Chicago one day, and not just because thats where they set ER. I read somewhere that ER shoots early on sunday mornings when they are in chicago. |
