I was going by the earliest written account of whatever name. The source is mostly Wikipedia. Chicago was for the whole region. The actual settlement that became the city was Fort Dearborn.
Because Crasstalk is down, I uploaded both maps here: [imgur.com]
Relink there, Brian?

Damn it, just when I was getting famous.
By the way, I did one for Europe too- [crasstalk.com]
The 'good people' would be me. I made the maps. Just sayin'.
The front page. The format is hard to read because the columns are too small and there are too many. They are also of varying lengths, so the ones below them don't line up which makes it aesthetically displeasing. When I first got there, I was confused about which direction to read them in since the columns lined up but the rows didn't and read them downward.
The sign-up process was also confusing.

Silver is certainly more useful. Gold is too soft to be especially useful to industrial processes.
You know what's funny is that there was some idiot in favor of returning to the gold standard on NPR this morning and he said, "if you tie your currency to gold, it doesn't fluctuate." My thought was, "unless they find a whole lot more gold."
Voila.
Voila.
You guys really need to work on the site design. I love the idea of Crasstalk, but in terms of readability, it's also really bad. Why can't people just make non-flashy websites that are easy to read? #crosstalk
@AAFM: I love the idea of Crasstalk, I really do, but using it is an even worse experience than using the redesigned Gawker, except it's less buggy. It's equally hard to read.

Useful output? Is that what they're calling it these days?
I don't think she understands why the FBI is doing these raids. They know full well that they can't catch the people behind Anonymous because they know it has no central leadership. They're doing these raids to scare people into no longer participating, and it's pretty effective, especially when those who do participate tend to be more on the paranoid side in the first place. See above.
Anyone else want some?
Every time I hear about "smoker's rights" I think, "what about non-smoker's rights?"
Admittedly, it was 8 years ago or so. But you're right, I forgot about the reek of patchouli along with the urine.
So they are slave-holding plantation-owners?
Mubarak has resigned. So much for that story.
Well you seem to be one of the people who can't separate Assange from Wikileaks, so you don't really have room to talk.
