Her true calling was probably the DMV

The Good Thing is that the Chicago Public Library offers passes to, among other things, Museum of Contemporary Art:

The Chicago Public Library and the Museum of Contemporary Art have joined together to offer free admission to Chicago’s foremost contemporary art museum.

The Art Access card is your family’s ticket to thought-provoking art exhibitions at one of the nation’s largest facilities devoted to the art of our time. [. . .] A limited number of Art Access cards are available to Chicago Public Library cardholders who are residents of the City of Chicago.

Basically, a library card (and paying your sister's $1.10 overdue charges -- thanks, Karen, you're swell) gets you free admission for four to MCA or a number of other museums, including the Planetarium, the Art Institute and the Aquarium.

The Bad Thing is, MCA is closed Mondays. This will be noted on the brochure the surly, unhelpful librarian gives you along with the pass. Make sure you read it.

The other Good/Bad thing involves Chihuly at Garfield Park and how this is not, in fact, the same as Lincoln Park, but figure I should break these up to populate the page so it doesn't look quite as odd. . .
