YOU CAN'T ALWAYS LUCK INTO A BULL MARKET. Among the presentations on offer at next weekend's Printers Row Book Event in Chicago will be presentation, on Sunday 10 June at 1.30 pm in the University Center, 525 South State St., by Gail Marks Jarvis of the Chicago Tribune, who has written Saving for Retirement without Living Like a Pauper or Winning the Lottery and is offering to take questions at this presentation.

I've been meaning to mention this University Center, which has been the location of Central Electric Railfans' Association meetings since January of this year, for some time. The South Loop seems an unlikely place for the world's largest college town, but stir in DePaul, Roosevelt, Robert Morris, Spertus, the Art Institute, and then contemplate Illinois-Chicago a few blocks west, Illinois Tech and Chicago to the south, Loyola and Northwestern (with the business programs in the Gold Coast) to the north, and Chicago all of a sudden becomes a candidate for just that honor.
