It was eastbound. We got chucked out in front of Lane Tech and WGN. I was new to the city at the time and didn't know about the 80. I ended up taking that occasionally in the future (going the opposite direction) when there was bad weather because taking the 146(?) up Lake Shore Drive and connecting to the 80 was better than connecting to the 152 because I could wait in Starbucks for the 80, but the 152 connecting stop is exposed to the winter winds off the lake.
Yeah one disadvantage of buses is that you really have to know the system pretty well... by the time you ask Google Maps how you should get home it might be too late.
