Today Is The Day

No I'm not referring to the Yo La Tengo song. Today is the opening of Millennium Park in Chicago. On this splendid occasion, I thought I would compile a list of links, resources if you will, for further information, images, etc.:

The official Millennium Park web site, with an interactive map and other goodies.



The Public Building Commission of Chicago's page with a map and links to construction photos.



Another City of Chicago page on Millennium Park, with information on the different attractions, as well as practical advice, like how to get to the park via public transportation.



NewCity Chicago's Best and Worst of Millennium Park.



MillenniumPark.net, lots of images at this page.



The Heritage at Millennium Park's live webcam of the Park, requires Java.



Millennium Park Imagexlposion at Archinect.



Panoramic before photos of the Park site, by Thomas Yanul.



The Chicago Sun-Times special section on Millennium Park, with many, many articles on the Park.



Chicago Public Radio's page devoted to the Park, with audio clips on different Park elements and information about upcoming opening weekend events.



Google News for the latest news on Millennium Park Chicago.

I'll add links as I find them, but this list should suffice for now. Enjoy.
