I was able to drop in at the Marion E. Wade Center last year when I did a road trip from Winnipeg to Grand Rapids to go to the Festival of Faith and Writing. It was so worth the stop. At the time, I thought I might just spend ten or fifteen minutes looking around quickly. I think I spend an hour there and could have easily stayed longer. So interesting and very friendly staff who showed me around!
Well, here’s an offbeat comment. In reading this, I recalled a note about a newly discovered restaurant, an all-you-can eat Polish food buffet that is also in Chicago. Now we have no excuse but to visit since discovering this great museum. Sure, it’s not British pub food, but maybe they would approve?

That's so great that you got to go! I would have loved to spend a bit more time in the library area, but maybe next time :)

How fun! I'll have to remember this place next time I'm in that area!
