Richard Ward has put up a lot of information regarding the proposed move of the Children's Museum to the Daley Bicentennial Plaza including correspondence and notes which cover the major issues. There is an aerial photo depicting where the proposed museum would be constructed and photos of the area. There is also a poll asking web site visitors to share their views.

The impetus for the move is that the Navy Pier location becomes very crowded during summer months.

The museum would be underground ("below grade") and located next to the Grant Park's Daley Bicentennial Plaza. It is believed that traffic would flow largely on intermediate Randolph. Residents believe this could lead to some congestion at the intersection...

I put up a new home page for New-Eastside.com, the old one was just a couple of text links. This past Sunday my wife and I went out with the baby and I snapped a ton photos around the neighborhood.

I thought it might be fun to have a trivia contest where you try to match 10 photos with locations on a map of the neighborhood.. for instance the Elevator image above. Maybe I will have that ready next weekend :-).
