Every day I ride the Brown Line and pass the Spirit of Progress statue in the distance, atop the Montgomery Ward & Co. administration building. I've vowed to get a photo of it, and today I finally got off at the Chicago Avenue station to get the shot.
Ward built his phenomenally successful catalog business here in Chicago. We Chicagoans have Ward to thank for the only uncluttered lake front of any Great Lakes' city. Ward tirelessly fought with politicians and builders to keep the parks and beaches undeveloped. The fight continues without him to this day, with the current brouhaha over the proposed move of the Children's Museum to the edge of Grant Park [resolved in the park's favor in 2012].
Almost all Montgomery Wards buildings incorporated a version of the Spirit of Progress (often a relief carved into the building, rather than a statue), holding her torch and sword. This statue, modeled on one by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, stands 22.5 feet tall, atop a 4 story tower, which, in turn, sits on the eight story Wards administration building. The building was designed by Hugh Garden, and completed in 1908 (the tower was added in 1929

In progress, happy to be working again! I've fallen in love with silver embroidery thread. This is destined as a gift. Oh and I accidently discovered that I can do 'back stitch'!

The current City Hall building is a near-50-year-old structure that has served the city well but, in its current state, is functionally obsolete. Built in 1969, the current City Hall requires major renovations that are complicated by the presence of friable asbestos and the way the electrical and mechanical systems were installed.
On October 3, 2017, Virginia Beach city council unanimously approved a resolution to proceed with the design of a new city hall building. The new three-story structure adjacent to the current city hall, between Buildings 1 and 2, is under construction and progressing well.

My LDD work in progress, restarted after about a year or so of it just being the engines. I guess it was the whole Cuusoo thing with the Lego RIfter that got me motivated once again.
The new boarding ramp... origionally it was just a plank. This actually folds longer.
