I lived in Chicago 4 years while pursuing graduate studies in math at U of Chicago, on full fellowship -- National Science Foundation Traineeship. I lived in Hyde Park neighborhood of course, in married student housing. I also attended Northern Baptist Theological Seminary one quarter -- concurrent with U of Chicago. Doing both proved to be too much for me, so I quit seminary although I was getting straight As. I also participated 2 years in a food coop called "Cornucopia" which eventually failed. It was citywide, wanting to assist poor people get better bang for their buck. I was the leader of a group of 30 families that participated. I collected the list of items, went down to Cornucopia location & purchased, & took them to location to be distributed amongst us. I loved the movie "Blues Brothers" starring James Belushi & Dan Ackroyd. Loved the high speed chases through various roads in Chicago which I remember & recognized. "Mission from god" -- sounds great to me ! I taught 1 year part-time math at Roosevelt University downtown, while working on PhD at U of Chicago. I also purchased religious books at U of Chicago seminary bookstore & Evangelical Theological Seminary bookstore north of Chicago. Also, purchased math books at a Hyde Park neighborhood bookstore. IN BLUES BROTHERS -- LOVED ESPECIALLY THE DANCE SCENE OUTSIDE OF MUSIC INSTRUMENT STORE... LOL! I have returned to Chicago once -- twenty years later on vacation with my family. I accidentally locked us out of the car! I cannot drive long distances now, nor afford to fly. So I guess I won't be going there again.
