I want you...to celebrate 'Murika!



On Friday, it was another broiler, so we went to Science Center. WHO Channel 13 does its noon broadcast from there occasionally, so we squeezed into the first live weather report!

Here is the clip on WHO's site (Alex appears in the last part because we were walking into the exhibit as they were filming): WHO at the Science Center 7/6/12

Then it was onto Bauder's Pharmacy on Ingersoll, which has been around since 1922. They feature hand-made ice cream and an old-fashioned soda fountain.
