L’Osservatore Romano needs something to do.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

Importantly, in the movie there is an important bit of ecumenism, which wouldn’t be missed by the church.
After being given their mission, they are in despair over how to raise the funds until they go to an Evangelical church, where Reverend Cleophus James (James Brown) inspires them to reform their band.

It’s 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark, and we’re wearing sunglasses.

This is definitely Lower Wacker Drive! If my estimations are correct, we should be very close to the Honorable Richard J. Daley Plaza!
Jake:
That’s where they got that Picasso.
Elwood:
Yep.
