  3-4 days. It's a business trip, but I should have some time to stop in. Thanks, Phil.

  Downtown. I'll be working at the Sears Tower during the day and spending the night probably in one of the suburbs. I'm not exactly sure where yet.

  From Sears Tower it's a quick ten minute walk to Harlan J. Berk, Ltd., 31 N. Clark Street (a half block South of the Daley Center and City Hall).
  
  Exit Sears Tower on the Franklin St. side (East side of building), and turn left (North) to the stop light, Adams St. Turn right and walk West on Adams three blocks to Clark. Turn left (North) on Clark St. and walk four blocks (two of them are short) to the store. Be sure to browse in all the windows before going in. The phone number is (312) 609-0016.

  Thanks, Donn, but Franklin St. is on the East side of the Sears Tower. My wife used to work there, and that is where we met for lunch.

  Opps, I meant to write "East" but instead wrote "West" regarding Franklin St. Thanks for catching the error of my ways.... The West side of Sears Tower, if I correctly recall, is Wacker Dr. I used to have offices near there; first at 150 S. Wacker, then across the courtyard at 100 S. Wacker. That was in one of my previous lives.....
