I have flown that route a few times recently- I took some friends the other day to MKE and then flew S[the 2500ft corridor] over the city of Chicago. 119.65 is almost always the freq I get after departing and for VFR flightfollowing. It is normal for ATC to tell you " you are 5nm E of ENW- you are leaving my airspace- 1200 etc....." next time try going to 120.55[chicago dep] for further following and they will keep you till around the bahai temple and then you should go to 119.45[MDW app] and they will take you[most of the time- I have once got an "unable VFR"] past the city and further S of GYY.

hope that helps and be safe
