He could write that off as the difference between growing up the eldest daughter of a pack of kids (assistant mom) as opposed to an only child in hiding. Plus... Charity? She'd age the kid....

Southern Wisconsin - Lake Geneva? Jim might put her there for the gaming connection. ChicagoLAND if not Chicago.

Whatever, been to New York and stayed on Long Island and did drive into the city.. Both are bad, the problem is there are too many people, too many cars, and the infrastructure cannot deal with it.
But that is neither here nor there, all I am saying is Ivy could live less than twenty miles out of town, and still take a commuter train into town.. Ten miles or twenty miles or a hundred miles, she still isn't living in Chicago.

People don't travel long distances by train as much as by air, especially outside the AMTRAK Northeast Corridor. Probably not city proper, but I had the feel it was area.

Actually she had a carry on bag with extra clothes in the train. Which means nothing since even if she was local she was staying in a hotel. Kincaid gives the impression that they had come from someplace without snow and maybe warmer but that is just an impression. You can't know what Butcher doesn't tell you. And he never mentions where she lives.

I absolutely do not know why -- cannot offer a citation, or even a vague memory -- but had always envisioned Ivy living somewhere in Europe.

However it wasn't snowing if I remember correctly when they arrived. I cannot remember what time of year they did show up, only either the Cubs had no home games when the duel was scheduled, or it was off season.. At that time the Cubs weren't in any playoffs either if I remember correctly so Mid- October to early spring, [not sure when baseball season begins] so yeah, it can get quite cool that time of year. Actually in most parts of the country one can have chilly evenings and mornings.
