Default Sectional use

Recently, Tony posted:

Nothing, absolutely nothing, replaces a sweaty finger on a sectional
while doing pilotage. My favorite use of them, though, is to give them
to a pax and let them track my navigation if the weather is clear
enough.

I can't remember the last time I used one in real life for navigation,
but for flight planning they are convenient for chosing airports close
to where ever it was I was going. In the good old days, for example,
it would help me choose between Midway and (was it Burke?) Lakefront
in Chicago, depending on where in the city I was going.

Burke Lakefront is in Cleveland, so it would be hard to choose it on the
same sectional as Midway. ;-)

You probably meant Meigs...
