Fun Facts

The Chicago Fire Department has a Scuba Unit. I suppose that makes sense, since we're right next to a major lake where people do stupid things and need to be rescued.

The Windy City, birthplace of the skyscraper is a place where the wind is blowing from whatever direction you happen to be facing. Once, when I was an art student, our class met at the Art Institute to see a major Robert Rauschenberg exhibition. (It was a class on collage and construction.) I left work on LaSalle Street and walked through the snowstorm to the AIC. By the time I got there, I was covered in snow on every side.
