I'm in Chicago on business for a training course for my job, and promised i'd get a friend's little girl a postcard from the Field Museum of the t-rex skeleton there, Sue. She's 6, and has an obsession with t-rex's, and thinks her stuffed one is Sue's great-great-great-ect grand niece. Anyway. I'm out near O'hare, and now that i'm here i'm finding that that with the Field Museum's hours, the chances of me getting to actually go to the museum this week are slim to none since my class hours pretty much match their hours. While i'm sure my friend would understand if I can't make good, I really, really hate to disappoint a little kid.

Anyone know where I might be able to get postcards around here, or if anyone works in or around the field museum, maybe help me get one and I can meet you somewhere? Appreciate any help.

There's a store at Woodfield Mall called Love from Chicago. They might have something.

I was just there last Wednesday. Wish I'd have known!!

Cool, Field Museum stores at the airport?

OP, if you flew to Chicago, there you go.

Cool, appreciate it. Called the Field Museum store in the airport and they said they don't carry postcards, but I called the Museum itself and the manager there said she'd personally bring a handful to the store in the airport for me. Thanks for the tip!
