The Chicago Tribune publishies a scathing indictment of Chicago's efforts at historic preservation.
"A simple spot-check of some of the more than 17,000 buildings listed as significant by the survey, conducted by Tribune reporters driving and walking through randomly selected Chicago neighborhoods, identified more than 200 structures that have been destroyed -- often, as further investigation showed, with the knowledge and approval of the city... The record of the demolished buildings contrasts starkly with the national acclaim Daley has received for saving such high-profile gems as the clifflike wall of Michigan Avenue buildings across from Grant Park."
