Yeah, I was thinking it might be easiest to just look up real Chicago data and
transplant it to CC.

Well, I'm using a travelling exhibit - I'm just wondering where to locate it.
With a campaign set primarily in CC, these first sessions are the time to
establish the city's style and layout in the players' minds.

Jeez, I hadn't even thought of that.  On reflection, I can get away with not
using any delta staff, though.  My version of BNW has very few deltas operating
legally outside of Delta Prime - villains and crooks, but few non-Defiant heroes
or independant operatives.  So the Delta Prime PCs will be the ones guarding the
exhibit on its closing night.

These unemployed actors gone bad are the worst.  When they're not whoring
on streetcorners or trying to look menacing as they loiter around the drama
sections of bookstores, they form gangs that relentlessly try to attach
themselves to stylish homosexuals and break all the noise laws by bitching
about pretty girls and people with talent.  The bastards.
