destroyer-065:chicago: Both passages explicitly name the same real-world geographic subject; the cited Book 65 and earlier contexts support its use as a place in the novel.

destroyer-066:chicago: Both are the same named real city; Book 66 explicitly locates the concert in Chicago (ch07:p0073) and depicts the collapse (ch08:p0002).

(witness:00000192:ch07:p0073; witness:00000192:ch08:p0002; witness:00000009:ch05:p0036).
