Millennium Park Additions

The Chicago Sun-Times reports on six additions to everybody's favorite park of 2004, Millennium Park: a new gift shop and welcome center (both in the pavilions behind the bandshell), two Gehry-designed concession stands under the trellis, and grass areas at the North and South Terraces will be replaced with granite and sycamore trees (more a change than an addition). Half seem geared towards making money, the other half in response to pedestrian patterns on opening day and the need for help orienting the Park.
