I can remember when it was installed in front of the Civic Center (since renamed for Daley), which is made of the same purposely rusting Cor-Ten steel.
How Picasso got our famously conservative former mayor Richard J. Daley to approve this thing is still a mystery. But the Chagall mosaic, the Calder flamingo, the Miro sculpture facing the Picasso across Washington St., the Batcolumn at the Social Security Building, Harry Bertoia's singing metal rods in front of the Aon Building, the Agora in Grant Park, the Pritzker pile-of-metal-shavings bandshell -- they all owe their existence to Picasso's woman/bird/monkey (he never said exactly what it was supposed to represent).
Lorado Taft and Daniel Chester French must be crying in their heavenly beers. (Less)

Unfortunately, not all of us made it to SAVE THE SPINDLE! A drunk psycho driving a rusty red cadillac was fleeing the scene of car-on-car violence and drove up to Loomis and 18th Street.
You would think a police blockade would have been enough to halt this drunk, but he drove around the cops and gunned it towards a wall of cyclists. Most everyone got out of the way as the maniac drove over abandoned bikes lying on the pavement like so many cicadas.
10 year old Will Healy was still on his bike when he took a direct hit as the drunk driver gained speed thinking he was gonna some how evade responsibility from his murderous rampage. Will was lucky to wind up on top of the hood instead of getting crushed underneath the car that would send him flying through the air cartwheel style while his bike would get ground into a mangled mess and left six blocks away.
The police caught the derelict, and Will's mom is gonna make the legal system drag this scum bag six long years through the penal system: real jail time 4 this 4 count felon. You hot heads behind the wheel better wise up, cause your all driving killer cars, and unless your all hollywood, killers do time.
WE ARE TRAFFIC!
