Chicago for an atypical tourist?
I’m going to Chicago, Sunday - Wednesday. What geeky/techie things should I not miss while I’m there?
I’m going to Chicago with a fellow geek friend for IMTS (machine tool/manufacturing trade show) next week. I’m looking for some fun things to do Monday and Tuesday afternoon/evening. I would like to know about any local electronics junk/surplus shops, machinery junk/surplus, museums that cater to adults and have interesting displays about technology (new or especially old), or anything else of the kind.
Examples of great finds that I’ve really enjoyed in other cities are Fair Radio (Lima OH), Exploratorium (San Francisco CA), HGR Industrial Surplus (Euclid OH), Boeing Surplus (Wichita KS), Early Television Museum (Hilliard OH), Pavek Museum (St. Louis Park, MN).
