    If you follow me, and you are ever in Chicago, get yourself to the Museum of Science and Industry. Best around age 7 but if you do not have a convenient 7 year old it will draw one out of you anyhow. It is wonder, magic, and a celebration of building things.

        I always got a kick out of the inscription In the rotunda, something like: “science discerns the laws of nature, industry applies those laws for the good of man” A little hokey to a modern ear, but optimistic in a way that seems rare today.

        I grew up going there, though they haven't changed some of those exhibits in years. Do they still have the submarine?

        Every year during the first week of classes, @UChicago hosts all its undergrads at the MSI (a tradition repeated during Senior Week for almost-graduates)! It's the best! Just as magical for nerdy 18-22y/os
