Add 3rd spaces that don't cost an arm and a leg for the youth to be able to go to.

It's not rocket surgery.

“In 2029 we will rebuild the White House and pay for it by seizing assets from Trump, his family, and all of his companies and organizations. We publicize the name of every contractor involved with this project and permanently ban them as corporate entities and individuals from public contracts.”

Found out that the American Toby Jug Museum in Evanston permanently closed earlier this year, which is a shame. One of those great little museums that comes from somebody who is intent on sharing their personal hobby with others, and who has the time, resources, and space to do so.
