Reilly’s comments at a Friends fo the Park meeting last month regarding the plans to move the Children’s Museum to the north end of Grant Park -

From ArchitectureChicago PLUS - “On the proposed move of the Chicago Children’s Museum to a new building in Grant Park -
Reilly: That’s been a bit of a political football. . . . That’s something that will be thoroughly vetted, building by building, in the [New Eastside]. I find it curious that there are certain organizations out there, that have in their charter a mission statement of preserving open space, that are actually advocating for additional building for Grant Park. I don’t understand that. How these folks can look [you in] the eye and say, yes, we’re here to preserve Grant Park, but please put this building in, I don’t understand that.”
