Sorry for the top post!  Not really :-)

I am now at CommonWealth.  Been into the Museum of Freedom where I am
getting shot at from balconies, etc..  I have no ammo for my little
pistol.  I have found another door but I need to have a master lock
picking skill to open some of them.

Do you know where I am now?

I guess I messed up somewhere along the way there!

Thanks!
