RE: [DML] Re: DeLorean Car Show Chicago

["Joseph Kuchan" <josephkuchan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I also live in the Chicago area and have visited both of the sites Dave 
mentions. They are both outstanding. The McCormick estate is more popularly 
known as "Cantigny Park", and in addition to the 1st Division Museum (which 
is as Dave describes - the best I've ever seen) it also features extensive 
flower gardens and guided tours of the mansion.

Fermi lab is especially great if you're a science/engineering type. This is 
a chance to see your tax dollars at work.

These are two great choices for a driving tour in this area.

Dave's advice is good - you should consider choosing one site to spend most 
of your time at. We visited both of these sites on the same day as part of 
an attitude adjustment day (day out of the office) with the group of 
engineers I work with. We managed to fit both of them in along with a lunch 
stop, but we had to kind of rush through Cantigny and saw the 1st Division 
Museum, but not the house or gardens.
