I have been flying myself there for the past 12 or so years. Except for the couple of years that I flew my "ultralight" (w/out a transponder), I just cut over the water near Gary Indiana, then stay within a few miles of the Chicago's shoreline just under O'hare's airspace (at least if I had to ditch, I could do it close to land). I have considered flying direct, but SEL over water is just not smart.
I hear ya on the commercialization of EAA, but it is still an awesome experience that I wouldn't miss for anything. To walk an antique row of 10 or so better than new Staggerwings (or hundreds of warbirds or 100s of whatever) is just mind boggling to me.
