Re: [Leica] subs in Chicago

["William Ferris" <billferris@worldnet.att.net>]

The University of Illinois - Chicago is on the west side.  The University of
Chicago - of which I am a graduate - is on the south side at 58th and Ellis.
this is about 7 miles south of Madison Street in the loop (8 blocks to the
mile in Chicago).  the Museum of Science and Industry is in the same
neighborhood.
