I'm not sure, I remember they renovated it at one point, then I thought they were moving it somewhere else...I'll have to get back to you on that, it's been awhile since I've been there...but I have been forunate enough to tour it as well...I've also seen the King Tut exhibit many years ago as well as the ruins of Pompeii...

It is a fabulous place. I love the Museum of Science there. Does it still have the U-boat built into it?

I live in a suburb of Chicago on the Indiana border and can visit whenever I want...it's 15 minutes to downtown from where I live...it's a beautiful and clean (asthetically), probably one of the cleanest big-cities you'll ever visit in the world...and there's so much to do...

I love Chicago! Beutiful place! Once while visiting family my cousin Russ and I went out to see the city without telling anyone. We rode the EL and were gone for hours. Needless to say, since I was only 14 at the time and Russ 16, ...................we were both grounded when we came home. LOL

"It was a very famous place, and it would cost about five shillings (40 cents) to rent one of the old schoolrooms for a day. Everyone in the Midlands would use it, because there was nowhere else you could go and rehearse, turn up the volume as loud as you wanted, and blast out."
"One night at a local rehearsal room called Holy Joe's in Wednesbury (run by a Vicar called 'Father Husband'), I heard a band I liked the sound of. I put my head 'round the door to see three young head-banging, crazy, long haired guys, amps full up."- Al Atkins, Victim Of Changes liner note, 1997
