"Mistake by the Lake" opens
The $632 million publicly financed "renovation" of the Chicago Bears' Soldier Field is set to open tomorrow night, and the reviews aren't kind. "A friend of mine who is studying architecture was in town last week," one Chicagoan told the Boston Globe. "We had stopped at a restaurant and he asked the owner the absolute 'must-see' structure in Chicago. And the owner pointed east and said 'to the lake where there's a gigantic ashtray lodged in a football stadium.'"
