Distance from Chicago Corrections

I thought that maybe my distance from "Chicago" was inaccurate and I should use the geographical center of Chicago (41.840675 N 87.679365 W )not some arbitrary point in the 6060X zip code downtown.

So this changes the shortest non toll road distances to each drive in.

Original values:
1 Cascade (34.2)
2 McHenry (50.1)
3 Keno (50.8)
4 49er (59.6)
5 RT34 (84.2)
6 Melody (98.7)
7 Triway (103)
8 Lakeshore (115.0)
9 Five Mile (117.0)
10 Highway 18 (122.0)
11 Midway (128.0)

Adjusted distances:
1 Cascade (30.0)
2 49er (54.1)*
3 McHenry (57.5)*
4 Keno (58.2)*
5 RT34 (75.7)
6 Melody ( 95.9)
7 Triway (98.7)
8 Lakeshore (117.0)
9 Five Mile (120.0)
10 Midway (120.0)*
11 Highway 18 (126.0)*

*Change in distance 'rank'.
