The "Sax" logotype looks to be to cater to the "bad spellers who want hostelries with happy endings" crowd.<BR/><BR/>For the Studebaker (Fine Arts) building, perhaps try asking the management or inquire at the Art Institute? Not sure where Solon Beman's papers would be these days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10923291.post-15805794364821391132008-03-21T10:15:00.000-05:002008-03-21T10:15:00.000-05:00Does anyone know where I can obtain the original b...Does anyone know where I can obtain the original building plans for the Fine Arts Building.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10923291.post-67927179127854508492008-03-21T10:14:00.000-05:002008-03-21T10:14:00.000-05:00Does anyone know where I can obtain the original b...Does anyone know where I can obtain the original building plans for the Fine Arts Building.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10923291.post-26473438612381443232008-03-20T14:34:00.000-05:002008-03-20T14:34:00.000-05:00Mayor Mumbles and his political hacks will not giv...Mayor Mumbles and his political hacks will not give up. And they will spend our tax dollars defending any lawsuit over this plan.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, David "Hacks"-elrod and his cronies are in bed with the Sun-Times and its Democratic party supporters masquerading as journalists.<BR/><BR/>This plan is bad on so many levels that it's ridiculous. Those on the front lines against the museum plan deserve our support and thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10923291.post-62723739515530501422008-03-19T21:53:00.000-05:002008-03-19T21:53:00.000-05:00Jack, what's wrong with open space?

Why should CCM be rewarded for their laziness?

The Field Musuem lost it's bid to move into the center of Grant Park 100 years ago, and yet CCM thinks it can win a battle that the Field family and the city lost.<BR/><BR/>Of course the irony is that if it were not for the Ward decisions, an Armory would be in the place that CCM wants to build. That land was protected by Montgomery Ward and the Armory wasn't built, now CCM wants to violate the Ward decsions that originally protected the land.<BR/><BR/>Look into how the original building of the Art Institute was approved and the Harris Theater. Think CCM could survive the same court challenges they did?<BR/><BR/>Sincerly,<BR/>Warren F LelandAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10923291.post-69001082859494036132008-03-19T13:16:00.000-05:002008-03-19T13:16:00.000-05:00I.B.hoMe.?I.B.hoMe.?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10923291.post-24867711860680412722008-03-19T12:02:00.000-05:002008-03-19T12:02:00.000-05:00Hey Mr. Becker, I appreciate the attempts to suppo...Hey Mr. Becker, I appreciate the attempts to supposedly protect the park from potential destruction, but could you explain to all your readers exactly how that image of Grant Park that you show is going to change with the introduction of the CCM? (Hint: Not at all, unless you consider the image might inlclude more visitors enjoying the park due to the nearby museum.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
