Cook County building on 26th and California

I've got jury duty down there on Monday.  What's bicycle parking like down there?  How particular is the dress code (aside from not wearing shorts)?

Don't know about bicycle parking;  still not the greatest area in the city. Long pants and a shirt with a collar would be nice.  Also, security is strict there, so don't bring a lot of stuff that you will have to take out of your pockets or that might irritate the deputy sheriffs.  Do take something to read unless you like daytime television.

And there are a couple of bike racks near the entrance to the parking garage.

Yeah, what H said. I'm about ten minutes from 26th and Cal, Little Village gets a bad rap usually. Sure it may not be as "safe" as sone areas, but way safer than some others.

Lunch in Little Village is, for me, one of the highlights of jury duty at 26th and Cal.

I doubt they will let you take tools into the building no matter how nice they are to jurors.  http://www.cookcountycourt.org/jury/index.html

Daley Center has facilities (pay!) for storing things while in the courthouse.  Anyone know whether 26th and Cal has that?

Thanks for the info all.  What about a few small tools?  Adjustable wrench, allen wrench or two, tube, plastic tire levers....  Should I leave it all at home and pray?

Joe, could you suggest a place or two? I'm sometimes down the street from that area for work and wouldn't mind trying something new the next time I'm there. I don't know Little Village at all.
