An interesting story to share about Lemont Temple. Some of the guys working with me in Chicago were earlier working on an assignment in Hobart, IN.

They decided to come to Lemont Temple on Saturday. They all came in one car around 11:00 am (quite early for a weekend by Indian IT worker standards). After the temple visit, One of the guys volunteered to drive. The decision – Let us go to Devon Ave for lunch etc.

They all got in the car and promptly dozed off (except for the driver !!). When they woke up they found themselves back in Hobart. When they asked the driver, how this happened, the driver said “I know the route from Hobart to Temple and back, I know the route from Hobart to Devon Ave and back. But, I dont know the route from Lemont Temple to Devon Ave. So now I will drive you back to Devon Ave.” They did make it to Devon Ave that afternoon about 3 hours later than planned.

Thank God…Gas was only $0.99 per gal in those days.

FYI. Subsequently, the driver in this case was known to come to Devon Ave all the way from Hobart, IN just for chai and mirchi bhajis at some restaurant called Annadata.

Interesting Guy…
