Where did the week go?

I turn around, and it's Friday already!

So, my NaNoWriMo story is set in an alternate Chicago where people ride horses, bicycles, or surreys, and get power from windmills.

What local color would you suggest ought to be there?

Or, if you prefer, tell me what cool devices might exist in a world with no fossil fuels or computers! 

They do have electricity (though no grid), and  plastics (or something similar) are grown from the byproducts of bacteria.

"Where did the week go?"

They took it to little factory just outside Mississauga where they ground it up to make mattress stuffing.

Oh, gosh, I hope not! My week was not restful. It would make a very poor mattress.

But hey--hello! It's good to see you here.
