[QUOTE="HereWeGoAgain, post: 84411, member: 3485"] Speaking of Soldier Field (WipedOut mentioned it) -- I think the new Soldier Field looks like a UFO crashlanded on the old Soldier Field. On a similar note, Chicago is home to a lot of weird sculpture. We've got the Picasso whatchamacallit -- some people say it's a horse -- and the thing outside the Federal Building that looks like partially melted steel girders, painted international orange*. Then there's the Millenium Park "Bean" (finished in 2005, but what's 5 years when you're talking about a millenium?) I was taking easy child 1 to the aquarium one time and we got a good view from the trolley of the Bean under construction. "What's that, Papa?" she asked, pointing. And on one of the rare occasions that I had a quick come-back, I told her, "It's [i][b]art[/b][/i], honey." Everybody sitting nearby cracked up. * (added in edit) Officially called "Flamingo", by Alexander Calder [/QUOTE]
