Windy City Landmarks Having Birthdays

These noted Chicago sites had birthdays during the month of May:

90-- Michigan Avenue Bridge was dedicated May 14, 1920.

37-- Sears Tower topped off May 3, 1973. Notice I didn't call it by the other name.

4-- Cloud Gate in Grant Park, better known as "The Bean" was dedicated May 15, 2006.

83-- Buckingham Fountain opened May 26, 1927.

--The Modern Wing of the Art Institute was dedicated May 15, 2009.

From the May 16th Chicago Tribune.

And, we have been in our new house since November 1992, so the new house isn't so new anymore. And, it isn't in Chicago, either.
