The only book store we knew about was K&B, it was the premier place for books downtown. This was 1967-70.
OK. Powell's started up in 1970. That explains it. (Also, some people can't be bothered taking the IC to the South Side).

We’d drive up to Hammond/Gary from St. Joseph’s College and take the South Shore into the city. These were usually Saturday only trips, thus kept to the main downtown area. I remember seeing Dr. Zhivago, The Blue Max and Sound of Music there. And one theater trip to see the stage production of Cabaret with Joel Grey and Lotta Lenya from the original Broadway show.

Uh, this is Hyde Park we’re talking about, an outpost of civilization where the borders with The Hood are a bit fuzzy...outside of Museum of Science and Industry I’ve always been a bit nervous roaming around there.
