The Daily Beast needs a map to find the craziest cities
Poor Chicago, The Daily Beast ranked Lincolnland's numero uno city only 25th on their list of USA's craziest cities, and in my own estimation it shouldn't be anywhere that high. But what little factoid did they use to amuse everyone about Chicago? The Lakeview Museum's large scale solar system! Neato! Except the Lakeview Museum is in Peoria, Illinois some 130 miles SW of Chicago. What maroon decided to use this particular factoid? Think they looked at a map? Think they read the link they provided which clearly indicates the museum's correct location? Scheesh! Well, there are lots of good museums in Chicago folks, just not this one.

Well, if The Daily Beast is using runaway Surinamese slaves to do their navigating in Illinois, that may explain the confusion ;-)
