Does anyone in the fandom hereabouts remember the address of Fraser's first apartment building, as well as the general neighbourhood of same?

I'm thinking this is a thing that must be added to The Atlas of Imagined Cities, and it didn't get included in the Chicago section.

Current Mood: nerdy

I hope everyone who's been to Star Trek Mission Chicago this weekend gets through the weekend and its consequences safe and sound!

Current Mood: worried

Sometimes, it throws me off: seeing landmarks I know to be associated with either Vancouver - or have I actually seen anything from Vancouver yet? Yes, I have! - or Chicago in Batwoman's version of Gotham.

There does seem to be some interest in borrowing design thought from the Nolan movies here - just look at their version of Wayne Tower as impersonated by the Chicago Board of Trade building...and yet, I expect Gotham to be its own place.

Current Mood: contemplative

Justin Trudeau. University of Chicago Institute of Politics. David Axelrod as interviewer.

It's either on CBC's video archives, UChi Pol's YouTube, or both, if it's online at all.

Wondering what Amtrak would name a direct route between Gotham City and Chicago. They name all the other train routes they operate, after all. Some names inherited from pre-Amtrak operators of the routes in question, of course...

Opinions are welcome.

Current Mood: curious

...or maybe for one of Sara Paretsky's V.I. Warshawski tales (if Mme. Paretsky hasn't already made use of it and I've simply forgotten...)?

Tunnels of downtown Chicago, anyone?

Some alternative nation/map fun: The United Great Lakes from the "(Im)possible Chicagos" series. Not sure if any of my Chicago-based friends and acquaintances already know of this, but it looks entertaining.

Also, I'm not sure that I'd want to give up living in a national capital for this. But it is entertaining to look at.

Current Mood: amused

Okay, obviously my memory's not working right. I'd completely forgotten that this was Chicago Weekend on the comics convention circuit this year.

Here's hoping whichever of my friends are there right now, that they've having a good one!

Current Mood: guilty
