(...) I used to go to school down here (got my undergrad and grad degrees at U of I), but now I work for the University (specifically at NCSA). That makes me an old fogy. It's funny -- the students are getting younger and younger each year. :) Chris (24 years ago, 10-Nov-00, to lugnet.loc.us.il.cha)

Can anyone tell me exactly when the Grand Opening of the Chicago LIC is? I really want to go, but I'd rather not plan my trip on rumors. Does anyone have the stated date from a newspaper or something? (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.events, lugnet.general, lugnet.legoland, lugnet.loc.us.il.chi)
