Metra commuter rail has a River Grove station on the Milwaukee District West Line. It's not exactly close to HK, maybe a mile or so but it's walkable if you are into that sort of thing. My dad used to live in River Grove and did it every workday, and would walk it home a little further than Hala. Looks like a one-way ticket from downtown is $4.75 these days. Getting a cab or bus from the River Grove stop to HK would be complicated, but using just the Metra isn't. It can be a long time between trains, though. But the schedule is set in stone so you know what you're getting into, and traffic is a non-issue. http://metrarail.com/content/metra/en/home/maps_schedules/metra_system_map/md-w/map.html Enjoy your visit!
