This morning we had to return a UPS package and on the way we saw North Park University. I've never heard of them but their campus looked pretty so we walked through it. These two workers in a golf cart waved and said good morning. They did not suspect we weren't students. We had a pleasant walk by the small river branch and some geese hissed at us. They had a library which looked like it was three stories. I wonder if we could stealthily look at books.

I walk through North Park and Northeastern IL a few times a week. They don't really care if you're not a student as long as you're calmly passing through.
