Around this time each year, a list of trivia questions and various goodies to find are distributed to U. of Chicago students, among them many questions about places in the Illinois Area. Below are some of them that are specific to the Chicago metropolitan area mostly, if you know the answer to any, please post or e-mail. (While I'd love for others not to get the answers, it's only fair that the answers be posted since the net is a free resource) ... even if you don't feel like helping out the Maclean House team (No, we're not named after the Cheesburger =) ) Enjoy the trivia questions...
