November starts out today, Thursday the 1st, with the issue of
landmark designation for
Bertrand Goldberg's Prentice Hospital finally comes to a head at the
Commissions on Chicago Landmarks monthly meeting starting at 12:45 p.m. in room 201-A (Council Chambers) at
City Hall. The event has been carefully scripted by Mayor Rahm Emanuel to quickly end in an approval of Prentice's destruction. We'll see how much the players adhere to lines Emanuel has written for them.
It will to be hard to top today, but there are almost fifty items already on the
November Calendar of Chicago Architectural Events. Its includes the announcement of the winners and display of the work of the
