That said, the most voracious pusher of the "Mab fixed LC" is Mrs. Duck. You really aught to include one of her "defend my theory against all comers" threads (e.g. here) if only to showcase the Darkest Guardian of the MFLCT (Mab fixed Little Chicago Theory). It also contains a poll where people voted for the various options.

Bah, now you have me wanting to go through 39 pages of thread looking for the best posts justifying the different options Ms. Duck gave.

Hmmm. He did upgrade and expand the area it covered at one point (initially 2 mile radius, then a 4 mile radius in a later book, from Burnham harbor? I think?) ... but it still never covered all that large an area of Chicago itself.
Oooh ... the 'Za Lord's Guard (and/or the Militia) could be utilized to help keep a future Little Chicago (or wider area construct) up to date. Might need to be expanded, though.
Ziggelly:
Didn't he already use the Za Lord's Guard to help with LC?

No, he did it all himself (except for making the pewter structures IIRC).

SK chap. 23, paperback p. 264. When Harry realized that they were apparently on the clouds, Lea answered his questions as, "This is the world between, the sometimes place. Where Chicago and Faerie meet, overlap. Chicago-Over-Chicago, if you like. This is the place the Queens call forth when the Sidhe desire to spill blood." Harry saw it as the land which underlies Chicago and the water of the lake. Once Harry imagined the buildings he knew, Harry was envisioning the Chicago he himself lived in. It seems reasonable that Harry mentally constructed them as full-size buildings, not a miniaturized scale version.
