Excited Mayor Leads to Scale Model of Chicago for Burnham Plan Anniversary

We’re excited for all the upcoming things to see here in Chicago when the Burnham Plan‘s 100th anniversary celebrations start (including the landing of Zaha Hadid‘s latest spaceship). Now, upon learning of its building, we’re eager to see the scale model of the city being constructed by the Chicago Architecture Foundation, which will be placed in the lobby where the Foundation is located, in the South Loop, from June 11th to November 20th. We’re suckers for scale models of most anything (visit this writer’s parents’ house to see a very large collection of poorly assembled model airplanes), and seeing a three foot tall Sears Tower sounds like the nerdy field trip we’ve been dreaming about since we were in short pants.
