What you suggested is very doable. Did it last weekend. Although, your
sequence is off. You need to flip the bird as you pass the city and overfly
Meigs, then turn inland and follow the Eisenhower. If you have never done
this before, be careful. It can be difficult to determine which major
highway is the Eisenhower. GPS provides a lot of peace of mind.

Definitely talk to Midway. Now that Meigs is gone, Midway pretty much
controls the lakefront, when needed. They always did control the corridor.

Call them over the lake before turning inbound. Don't call Chicago Center or
ORD. They are not interested.

What about flying from North to South along the shore.
Then cross between Midway and O'Hare at 1500MSL.

Then continue south, after flipping the bird to Mayor Dick Daley.

Is this the way, or is there something like the Hudson river VFR corridor
?
