I would assume that many people who read this page are disgruntled with the US News rankings of Chicago (15, tied with Brown, ew). Here is a quick way to get a little esteem back through silly ratings contests. The Chicago Tribune is having an online poll of the seven great wonders of Chicago, of which one nominee is UofC. So get out there and vote!
My picks were:
1. Chicago Blues
2. The Lakefront
3. Millenium Park
4. Wriggley Field
5. Sears Tower
6. The Watertower
and 7. the UofC

As an addendum I have been reading the comments on the Trib website and I do recognize some glaring omissions (such as the AI, Museum Park, Buckingham fountain, LSD, Navy Pier and Deep Dish Pizza) from the list. I think the Trib cheated because "The Lakefront" can include Shedd, Field, Navy Pier, Soldier Field, LSD, Buckingham and others I am sure. That being said a. it's cheap and b. I still can't justify giving the nod to Lower Wacker above the AI.
Well, we got it. We're officially the sixth wonder of Chicago.
