Working in The Sears Tower (mid nineties), got the bug for some MM cartridge which was available at a small Hi-Fi shop in a western Chicago suburb. Took the train after work and was dropped at a small commuter station about a mile from the store. About a foot of fresh snow on the ground through which I walked in my dress shoes and pants. Made the purchase and caught the next train back. It's a rough hobby but someone has to do it.
