I took my undergraduate degree at Roosevelt. Small world. I lived in Chi-town for 31 years:-).

Re: Who's in Chicago?
I'm trying to convince my department to send me to the Adobe Max conference there at the beginning of Chicago so there's the possibility of a Chicago PDML meet. It's an expensive proposition, given my department's current budget limitations, but if I pay part of my own may I just might be able to make it happen. When is the beginning of Chicago? Is that anything like the IDes of March? William Robb In 1829 the State Legislature appointed a commission to dig a canal connecting Chicago with the Mississippi River by way of the DesPlaines and Illinois rivers and to lay out towns, to sell lots, and to apply the proceeds to the construction of the canal. The canal commissioners employed James Thompson, a civil engineer, to lay out the original town. On August 4, 1830, Thompson filed his survey and plat of the town of Chicago in Section 9, Township 39, Range 14, and thus Chicago received its first legal geographic location although the town was not incorporated until three years later. On August 12, 1833, the Town of Chicago was incorporated with a population of 350. Incorporation was enabled by an act of the legislature, passed February 12, 1831, which provided that any community of over 150 inhabitants was authorized to incorporate as a town, with limits not to exceed one square mile in extent.
