Here ya go:

The way I found it was the way I find a lot stuff: I go to Ask Jeeves at
www.askjeeves.com and type in "How do I find a downtown map of Chicago?

I also asked "How do I find information about Marshall Fields in downtown
Chicago? and got this site:

It's just a quick blurb about the window display, but you can check the store's
address there.

I grew up in a suburb of Chicago, and have very fond memories of going downtown
on Christmas Eve each year to see the windows at Marshall Fields, going to see
Santa in the store, and then having lunch in the Walnut Room under their
enormous Christmas tree.  Magical!

Enjoy the trip.  Hope you get lots of good pictures.  I'll be very curious to
see how they compare to the Dayton's auditorium show.

Cheers,
