Great Lakes is on Lake Michigan, so it is northeastern Illinois, as opposed to northwestern Illinois (that would get you the Mississippi River!).

Dying to make one of those myself, so I can live vicariously through you.<br /><br />As for podcasts, I second the 99% Invisible recommendation, and the Bowery Boys for some fun NYC history (and there are loads of episodes.)<br /><br />Have a good trip.

There's a 15-part series on the Hollywood blacklist that's amazing, and a really thorough look at the Manson murders, among other topics.<br /><br />- 99% Invisible, of courseArlettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10181991304945874856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10738749.post-62509051946656922132017-04-11T13:13:04.891-05:002017-04-11T13:13:04.891-05:00You're driving!
