That is exactly the point freyir and I are trying to make. Because I don't live in Chicago, but I can visit anytime I want with minimal effort or financial impact, I can afford to visit Chicago any time I want. Perhaps I will visit your museum in Houston some time. I like visiting famous museums, that's why I don't live nearby any famous ones, specifically so I can afford to visit them. I enjoyed visiting NYC and traveling all over Ireland which was only financially possible because I don't live in a "cultural capital". Chicago BTW has some excellent museums. You can easily spend an entire weekend at the Field museum or the MSI or the aquarium and because I don't live there, I can afford to do so.
