The Modern Wing is pretty great, although IMO his crowning achievement is still the Beyeler Foundation (which the MW obviously draws many influences from)

The city has ruined many great old parks. It really ticks me off.

Can you see it from the Van Buren brown line station? I haven't noticed it so it must be quite small.

that doesnt look anything like tetris.
It looks like that F logo for Famous brand.

I like the little palm treees made out of plastic and metal between the court of appeals building and state, between mcdonalds and whatevers on the other side.

That John Marshal park is gonna get crowded with people, good, there needs to be a sit down spot somewhere on state. why isnt there benches except bus stop to sit on michigan ave or state? loiterers? anyway, I can already see crackheads walking around that park all the time. and college students smoking weed.
