When you say “The bean” I automatically think of something else. :-)
Free at last
My Chicago friends will be glad to know that they can now photograph the Bean without being harassed by the man.

I was there on Sunday trying to take some photos. Unfortunately, there’s not much to photograph. It’s a big mess right now. They put a tent over 90% of it with just an end that is partially finished sticking out. They were supposed to be grinding the seams out over the winter and have it finished by now. They announced just before the Memorial Day weekend that it won’t be done until September and it’s $6 million over budget. I have heard that it was some really bad planning and some union issues that caused the budget problems. Fortunately, it isn’t funded by any taxpayer money.
I love, love, love Chicago.
