Bears Finish No. 2, Cubs Finish No. 4 In ESPN Uniform Rankings

by Steve von Horn • Aug 24, 2012 2:18 PM CDT

For reasons beyond the comprehension of most sports fans, the Chicago Bears have been somewhat arbitrarily awarded the No. 2 spot overall and the Chicago Cubs have earned the No. 4 spot across all major sports (NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB) for the best uniforms over at ESPN. Of the 122 teams across those four professional sports leagues, the Montreal Canadiens, Bears, St. Louis Cardinals, Cubs and Boston Bruins round out the franchises with the top-five uniforms overall. The New York Yankees barely cracked the top-10 and the Chicago Bulls didn't even make the top-50(!). Weird.

Throwback designs apparently did factor into the decision as well, but the Bears and Cubs don't exactly have the best options in that category so it seems the high marks are based on the iconic standards set by the usual threads. Here is the rationale attributed to the decision on the Bears at No. 2:

True, the helmet design is starting to look a tad dated. But the striped sleeves, striped socks (now a rarity in the NFL, alas), unique number font, and even the perma-memorial to Papa Bear all score major points, and the Bears may be the only team in the league who look as sharp on the road as they do at home. The cream of the NFL crop.

The White Sox took the No. 39 spot, the Chicago Blackhawks managed a No. 49 ranking and the Chicago Bulls (No. 67)

Chicago Architect Wins $200,000 Prize From Notre Dame
By ROBIN POGREBIN

http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/20...me/?ref=design

Excerpt:

Thomas H. Beeby, one of the “Chicago Seven” architects who challenged modernist orthodoxy in the 1970s and 1980s, has received the 2013 Richard H. Driehaus Prize from the University of Notre Dame.

Mr. Beeby is the 11th recipient of the prize, which honors lifetime contributions to traditional, classical, and sustainable architecture and urbanism. He will receive $200,000 — and a bronze miniature of the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates — at a ceremony in Chicago on March 23...

Hello there people

I didn't know where else to post this random post, but the random section seems like a good fit. I'm doing a project for my architecture class at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas. Currently, our assignment is to plan a 21st century bookshop at a site in Chicago. We're to design a building that'll in a way be a renaissance to the now gone Prairie Avenue books. The to-be site location is at the corner of 700 N. Wells Street, Chicago IL. What brings me here is that one challenge to the project is our inability to gather pictures that we can use of the area and also to put on our renders. As of now, Google maps and few images taken from the internet are doing the job. If anyone lives close to the area or happens to go through there often, i would appreciated it if they could send me some pictures. My project is not due til May 6th, but we've started on it already. Pictures of the site would be greatly appreciated, especially if they are taken from interesting and good angles. Thanks for reading
