You are generally correct, Roger, about the location of The Museum of Science and Industry relative to Navy Pier, though I'm unsure of the exact mileage. However, relative to the University of Chicago, the Museum of Science and Industry is more or less due East, situated near Lake Michigan. I believe the campus you are referring to is not the University of Chicago (located in the suburb of Hyde Park) but is, rather, the University of Illinois Chicago campus. UIC is located not too far South of Greek town, and Racine & Jackson would not be far away from it. UIC has a very agreeable campus, but there is no U-boat there. - -- Paul Paul Arnold 22 Sunrise St. Dillon, Montana Visit MY GALLERY at: http://www.geocities.com/osprey59725/index.html >
