Artist Erik Blome used steel beams from the Twin Towers to create this memorial. Unfortunately, it's hidden away, between the 95th St. Metra station and parking tower. Unless you know where to look for it, or happen to walk past this sculpture, you'd never know it was there. Not a single area resident I spoke to knew of it's existence.
Several parts of the beams that were removed during the creation of the sculpture were used at the nearby Children’s Museum, and are featured behind an illustration of an American flag. They are part of the exhibit titled, “We The People.”
