Amazing. I know exactly where that is, I walked by it when I was visiting Chicago. I might even have a picture of it somewhere. (But no Leia in that one.)
What familiar saying with seven words has seven consonants in a row? The answer is a common saying, in ordinary English. Sometimes it's expressed in nine words rather than seven, but it's the same saying. And either way, in one spot it has seven consecutive consonants. What saying is it?
Last week: Name something in seven letters that most people keep in their homes. Take the first, third, fourth and seventh letters and rearrange them. The result will be a four-letter word naming something that the seven-letter thing is commonly used for. What is it?
Highlight for answer: Aspirin, pain
Two weeks ago: The name of what character, familiar to everyone, contains each of the five vowels (A, E, I, O and U) exactly once? The answer consists of two words — eight letters in the first word, four letters in the second.
Highlight for answer: Question mark
Three weeks ago: Name a well-known person from the 20th century who held an important position. Take the first and last letters of this person's last name, change each of them to the next letter of the alphabet, and you'll get the last name of another famous person who held the same position sometime after the first one. Who is it?

I didn't even know that was in Chicago! (I didn't take the photo, just came across it a few months ago and didn't bother to post it until now.)
Upon review of the photo you emailed me, I must conclude that these are in fact two different mailboxes. Oops, I mean, different R2 units.
No, I'm pretty sure they tore down that big pavilion and moved it back 75 feet since last summer.
