LOCATION: Chicago
(9:55 PM 7/29/1972)
Peggy & I went for a drive through Beverly Hills, the exclusive area of Chi which Peg's company is in charge of. We got back around 8:00, then Sue and I walked to the Drugstore where I bought a couple of
Mad mags, and we picked up Ron on the way (he's a young bearded amiable fellow whose kids Sue has baby sat for). He was at a gas station amongst more Sue Friends.

Ken got home and he and me went to
McDonald's, then we went to see a girl (I'm not sure what her name was), and then we drove around for a while and ran into Nancy & Jean. We talked to Jean until about 11:30 P.M.

In the daytime, me and Ken drove around some. We went to Old Town to check the bookstore for the posters. Then we went to
Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum.

1933 Chicago World's Fair Poster by illustrator Glen C. Sheffer |
Ripley's Odditorium first appeared at the Chicago World's Fair in 1933, but I can't find any info on a museum in Chicago today. However, there are now more than 30 Ripley's Museums (or Odditoria) worldwide.
