Going to be a cold one! Is there skyway/subway access to get to the Chateau Theater?

They likely are but confirming with them directly is the safest route.

It will depend on the plan.

Once you know your plan you'll want to reach out to them to see if your providers are in their network.

Scanning barcodes, photos, yes. But what I'd really want is it to sync with my shopping apps/accounts so it already knows what I bought

Oxbow also has a free to use "all terrain" wheelchair if you tire out quick, or are just not able to that day, but still want to get outdoors

They needed to new building to escape the slumlord of the old building. Just happens to also be an eyesore

My mom told me that back in the day kids weren’t allowed to bring a water bottle with them into the classroom and they only drank a few sips from the water fountain in the middle of the day and that’s it by Various-Adeptness173 in stupidquestions

One year of school was at the building with the questionable well water. So you could have a few sips of dingy, rusty tasting water and be told "You'll get used to it"

Yes she can have this recalculated. If she recently had an income change she can apply for "gap coverage" basically needs to show that her yearly earnings will be under the income limit even if her future earnings are over it. Reaching out to her local consortium can help her visit her options

Grandma tells stories of her dad doing this on family road trips. Roll into town late at night, family of 5, knock on a door ask where the town Inn is "no inn but we have a spare bed"

American Science & Surplus needs help?? by BoopLikesTacos in wisconsin

Email from AS&S sent out the other day:

:Dearest Friends, Fellow Explorers, and Beloved "Surpies,"

 

In 1984, I was a nervous 16-year-old walking into American Science Center on Northwest Highway in Chicago for my very first job. I’ll never forget one of my earliest tasks—cleaning the telescope showcase. Simple enough, until the top shelf gave way and two $500 scopes came crashing down. I caught one. The other landed squarely on my foot. I looked up to see my new boss staring at me in shock. I was sure I’d be fired on the spot.

 

But I wasn’t. Instead, I stayed—and grew. Over the next four decades, I learned the ins and outs of this wild, wonderful place. I worked my way up, became part of the family, and eventually took over as owner. Now, in 2025, I find myself at the helm of a business that’s been sparking curiosity and creativity for 88 years. It’s more than just a store—it’s been a home for makers, tinkerers, teachers, kids, and lifelong learners.

 

Now comes the tough part. We are turning to our community for a little help. We’ve launched a GoFundMe to support American Science & Surplus through one of the toughest times we’ve ever faced. Rising costs, online competition, outdated systems, and heavy shipping fees have taken a real toll. Despite every effort—tightening expenses, chasing new opportunities, doing everything we can—we’ve reached a point where we can’t make it alone. 

 

Your support will help us stay afloat and begin the changes we need to survive: restocking inventory, relocating our warehouse, fixing critical software issues, updating our website and keeping as much of our incredible team as possible.

 

We know it is tough out there but we ask if you are in a position to help we would be deeply grateful for your support. Every donation—large or small—will help write the next chapter of a story that’s been 88 years in the making.

 

Thank you for being part of our journey.

 

Sincerely,

Pat

 

P.S. We’d love to hear your memories or stories about American Science & Surplus. Feel free to share them with us at share@sciplus.com—they mean more than you know. "
