Chi-Town 36























What constitutes art is an age old question; if one criteria is for the observer to stand in awe of something created, then Calder's Flamingo, a 50-ton 'stabile' located a Federal Building not far from the Sears Tower, would certainly count.  The girls had made the Skyview walk at the Sears Building as as I had time to walk around the center of the Financial district, I came across the Flamingo.  Nobody was around.  The walking space there enormous, directly out front of the Post Office.  Kids could crawl a ways up into the steel legs and nap if they chose.  Carly tried to later.
