Research from the Revision Cave

[cathschaffstump]

Today’s Hulk Hercules session: research. I am working on a section where we see Leo at work at the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago, so I visited the Brookfield Zoo site to learn a lot about it.

And then, since Tony and Bianca with Nonna and Leo in Little Italy this year, I did general Little Italy research.

What I’m having trouble finding is where you go to school if you’re in the 4th grade and in the 6th grade in the Little Italy area. If any of you are Chicago-ites who happen to know, let me know. Otherwise, I’ll be buying a map and writing the school districts soon.

Bob, I’m considering coming to Chicago either the weekend of October 18th, or November 8th. FYI for you and Tasha. Of course, I have to contact Brookfield and the gym, see how it works out for them.

The rest of the evening’s work will be taken up in finishing the restructure of Substance’s Prologue, and perhaps putting the final buff on it. Revision meter should not substantially change.

Just to make things difficult, I am pretty sure you can actually choose which school you want to go to in Chicago. If you have a way to get there (and are academically able to transfer) you can go to any of the public schools in the city. I think.

http://schoollocator.cps.k12.il.us/ might help you if you're looking for a specific address though

See, now THAT's exactly the kind of information I need, because it's relevant to things I've written the novel. THANK YOU!

Hulk Hercules. It takes place mostly in Chicago.
