Just want to point out the GPC meeting tomorrow night - http://www.windychat.com/calendar/event-26/

Although it is not on the agenda, you can be sure the CCM topic will come up :-)

Hayley Graham of the Chicago Journal covers the Daley Bi Plaza rebuild meeting and options...

"Advisory council and community members met this week to brainstorm ideas for redevelopment of the plaza in Grant Park, which will be torn up during the construction of the East Monroe Street garage."

but mostly is a mouth piece for Bob...

"O'Neill said the potential for the redevelopment is to create a space where cultural and education attractions interact with green space."

They also found the one area resident who supports giving over part of Grant Park from the CCM, I'm sure suggested by Bob.

"New East Side resident Chris Long said she walks through Daley Bi Park daily and most of the time it is nearly empty, besides on weekend mornings. Long said she welcomes the proposal of moving the Chicago Children's Museum into the space Daley Bi's field house, since it will bring children to the park from all over the metropolitan area."

More quotes from Bob finish the article e.g.

"Whatever the plan for Daley Bi entails O'Neill said, "It should relate to the rest of Grant Park."

Daley Bi Park a clean slate for design (http://www.chicagojournal.com/main.asp?SectionID=1&SubSectionID=60&ArticleID=3647&TM=27072.13)

Great reporting!
