Visited the Field Museum today to take in the Wonders of the 1893 World's Fair exhibit. Very interesting. Picked up a book while there: Chicago By Day and Night edited by Paul Durica and Bill Savage, both friends of FC. The entire FC crew was mentioned in the Acknowledgments on page 276.

Well, I was certainly disappointed by it. I expected to see more artifacts from the fair besides the few natural history specimens the Field still had in its storerooms. The modern film footage to bring the famous Arnold photos to life was a neat trick, but could just have well been a youtube video.
