Red-Light Cameras Not So Special?
Summer is almost here (even if it doesn't feel like it) and that means lots of museum visitors. And, of course, there's been a big stink about the Art Institute's upcoming 50 percent admission hike. Under pressure from many directions - but most prominently Ald. Ed Burke - the Chicago Park District may give locals a break on the new admission fees to the count of $2. Instead of $18, local adults would pay $16 and local students and seniors would pay $10.
The Park District could ask their Board about the fee break this week while the admission increase still goes into effect May 23. [Tribune]

Boo ya grandma. $2 will buy me 2/5 of a five dollar foot long.
Or how about "free" if you have a Chicago Library card?
Much ado about nothing.
I've lived here 11 years and I've NEVER gotten a family pass at the library to either Science and Industry or the Art Institute. I'm convinced there are three of them for the whole city. If those passes were a true benefit to residents, each library would have hundreds of them.
