I’m embarrassed at how little I know about Chicago.

Didn’t know the gangsters that came from there and now I dont know a college that everyone else seem to know and seem to be of some prestige.

Have to head that way one day.

Spent about 20 percent of my time the last 17 years working in Chicago while my home was in Kansas City. Had an apartment and a car there for some of that time.

For a big city run by the Dem machine it has its good points. A lot of good people working there for the money but with a blind eye to its cancerous impact.

Great place to visit. The food is excellent and the museums and entertainment are top-notch. Getting around is easy on public transportation. Living there is fun, but it gets stale after a while.

The U of Chicago is a great institution smack dab in the Southside. Walk one block west from the campus, which, as an aside, has one of the greatest collections of antiquities from Roman, Greek, Egyptian, Persian, and Mesopotamian Empires in the world, and you are right in the middle of it, where no one has even heard of the Assyrian Empire.

Chicago Pile-1 (CP-1) was the world's first nuclear reactor to achieve criticality. Its construction was part of the Manhattan Project, the Allied effort to create atomic bombs during World War II. It was built by the Manhattan Project's Metallurgical Laboratory at the University of Chicago, under the west viewing stands of the original Stagg Field.

Well, you did say you were embarrassed!

U. of Chicago law school blessed its students for some years with a racist law lecturer named Barack Obama, Jr. who taught courses on race and law. Obama and his friends style him as a former “constitutional law professor” but really he did not teach much about the actual constitution and he was never a full-time tenured professor:
