As a kid on the Chicago South Side I went to the Museum of Science and Industry many many times. The old time main street is one of the best places there. It has a Nickelodean Theater that showed silent pictures. I was there the day they brought the captured German Sub U505 to the museum (maybe in 1955?). Loved to watch baby chick born. The coal mine elevator and train ride in the dark is great. WWII fighter planes hanging from the ceiling. An amazing place!
