Interesting places in Chicago area?

Not sure of computer or salvage places since I haven't lived there since '76 (I was born and raised in Chi-town though) but for recreation on an inquisitive or "nred" scale you might take a full day at the Museum of Science and Industry around 55th and Michigan Ave (south side but on the lake). Their full directions and info are on the web at http://www.msichicago.org/ My sister saw the "networld" exhibit and (although she's a commoner) she though it was very interesting and informative. Some exhibits will always be part of the museum, like the U-505 sub, the coal mine, chick hatchery, yesterday's main street, etc - some are there but get a regular updating to keep them current. They used to have one hell of a model train layout in the lobby - not sure if it's still there or not. Just a little insight to entertainment & educational things in case you zero out on old iron sources. Holy crap - just looked at the site and under "human body slices" I saw a pictue in BW of ME and my ex...that has to be from around 1979, the last time I was at MSI...Weird to see that too. I'll have to send a link to my ex and let her have a good laugh. http://www.msichicago.org/exhibit/body_slices/index.html => -----Original Message----- => From: owner-classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org => [mailto:owner-classiccmp@classiccmp.org]On Behalf Of g(a)kurico.com => Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2002 9:18 AM => To: classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org => Subject: Interesting places in Chicago area? => => => I'll be in the Chicago metro area later this week.
