Greetings from Illinois!
Even if you're already there.

The architect of the Illinois State Museum wins the Infinite Bad Architecture Tournament. But I'm sure it's nice on the inside. Or at least air conditioned.
We used to go to the Field Museum a lot when I was a kid, so I was alarmed to read on the postcard they were calling it something else. I looked it up and, no worries, they changed the name in 1943 but changed it back to the Field Museum in 1966. I think we can all live with that.
But speaking of names, what's up with "little Carl"? Are they talking about a new baby or a puppy? "We plan to keep him always" sounds oddly provisional to my ear.
My guess is that Little Carl is a pool boy.
