Actually, some in Chicago haven't. :-( Many decades ago we had a speaker from the Black Workers Congress here -- and he flew to Bloomington, Indiana! He eventually got here (and had a magnificent film to show), but I don't remember just how he made the trip from Bloomington to Bloomington. I don't think, however, that we've ever been confused with Bloomington, Minn. or Bloomington, Mont.

(I can't remember the film's title, but I remember vividly the sections inside an auto plant. I've never seen a film that caught so vividly the infernal clang of metal on metal in large factories. It practically put me back in Detroit Transmisison while I watched it.)
