Editorial: Bears stadium proposal has us asking: Who’s in charge of Chicago’s lakefront? – Chicago Sun-Times

"For too long, Chicago's parks and lakefront have been looked at as easily developable land, rather than sacrosanct public places that act as respite from the hurly-burly of the big city. Until that changes, lakefront and park space will always be under the threat of some sort of attack. At least on the museum campus, the institutions themselves are doing their part to improve the area."
