I paid for the information to find big Lucy, but I can't figure out how to get there if it isn't listed on the map. After I paid the guy for the info I ended up at the map, did I skip a step somehow?

No. If you haven't opened a new case since paying Larry, you need to roll your cursor over the map in the area he told you'd find Lucy.

Your cursor should change from an arrow to hand when you find it. No icon will be displayed.

This is copied straight from the Newbie FAQ that is located at the bottom of every page.

How do I find Big Lucy? Who is Larry the Toe?
Big Lucy's Cabaret is a famous night spot that takes some work to find. Lucy keeps the Cabaret on the move, and it never appears visibly on the map. Larry the Toe, a local "entrepreneur" can help you find the Cabaret's current location, for the right price. When Larry tells you the location, be sure to go visit the Cabaret before starting another case. When you start a case, the Cabaret location will move and you will not be able to find it again without Larry's help.

So, just follow the directions Larry gave you. If you can not remember what Larry said, move your cursor slowly over the map, when the arrow turns to a hand, then you have found the right location.

Another neat quick trick is to left click on a blank area of the map. This should highlight all the townie locations, plus one other. The one other should be where Big Lucy is.

The trick Crunchpatty suggests only works on some browsers. It does work on Mozilla, and Netscape. It does not work on IE or Opera. I haven't tried it on AOL or Safari, but I'd guess it's just the direct Netscape descendants.

The 'edit -> select all ' (ctrl A is the hot key in windows) command should work in all browsers to highlight all the information on a page.

Aha, didn't know that Ben - yup, I'm using the 'zilla, so that makes sense.
