Fight the Tower
The quite-activist Preservation Chicago, is staging a rally @ 1pm June 3 outside the Lake Shore Athletic Club, 850 N. Lake Shore Drive to protest the proposed demolition of this elegant building designed by architect Jarvis Hunt. What's at stake? Read here and here. I just might go see this protest. Back in 2002 or so, the group lined up vintage vehicles and dressed in period clothing to draw attention to the razing of the old Chicago Mercantile Exchange building at 300 W. Washington. I'm curious to see what happens this time. (photo courtesy of Preservation Chicago)
