We have changed the date and location to accommodate more panelists and to secure a spectacular venue overlooking Grant Park and Monroe Harbor: Burnham's green centerpiece.
Please save the date - more details will be forthcoming.
Daniel Burnham's and Edward Bennett's Plan of Chicago and Grant Park: 100 years later - What would Daniel Burnham and Edward Bennett think? How far have we come and where are we going?
Grant Park Advisory Council and Grant Park Conservancy public meeting
Wednesday, November 19, 2008 - 6:30 p.m. at the new Spertus Building at 610 S. Michigan Avenue - Crown Family Great Hall - 9th Floor.
The Centennial of the 1909 Plan of Chicago is almost here and we are assembling a panel of experts to discuss Grant Park (along with Monroe Harbor, the Plan's formal "front door"). This will be part of a series of discussions over the next year. The history over the last hundred years, the present and where we are going will all be discussed in a visual presentation.
Also, coming in 2009, is the 50th anniversy of Queen Elizabeth II's visit to Chicago and the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway. This area, where she arrived, is known as Queen's Landing at Buckingham Fountain in Grant Park. It was the first time in history that a reigning British monarch had come to Chicago.
Thank you,
Bob O'Neill
