Chicago question

Quick question for anyone who knows the history of Chicago - need the name of a reasonably well-to-do district at the end of the 19th century. My first thought was Grosse Point, as in Grosse Point Blank, since I somehow got the idea it was an upper-class suburb, but on reviewing it I'm not sure that's correct. Anyone got any suggestions? Want somewhere where a slightly crackpot religion appealing to the well-to-do might be based.

Later edit: Someone has very quickly pointed out that Grosse Point is Detroit, not Chicago. Shows how well I remember films! This pretty well has to be a BIG city e.g. Chicago, possibly New York or Boston, I think Detroit is too small in 1895.

Thanks, any alternate suggestions will be appreciated.

Forgotten Futures - a small request

I'm now pretty sure that I'll be able to launch the next release of Forgotten Futures, Forgotten Futures IX, at Dragonmeet on December 4th.

It'd help me considerably if any registered users who will be at Dragonmeet could (a) let me know and (b) pick up your CD-ROM from me there, to avoid any chance of losing them in the Christmas post. I'll give 30p to Cancer Research UK for every CD picked up at Dragonmeet, since it'll save me postage. If you want someone else to pick up your CD-ROM that's fine, but the person who collects it will need to quote your address.

If you're registered and won't be at Dragonmeet, and have moved since you last registered, PLEASE let me know your current address.

The schedule for this now looks to be something like this:

December 4th

Launch (to registered users) at Dragonmeet

December 5th

Duplicating / posting CDs (this will probably take 3-4 days)

January (at least a month after the last registered user's CD is posted)

On-line version

New FF Charity CD-ROM (FF IX plus extras)

New release of FF CD-ROM
