Millennium Park partially closed today
Allstate Insurance has booked Millennium Park for a company get-together today, so you won't have free run of the park today. You will get to use the Crown Fountain all day, and The Bean will be available to the public until 4:00 PM. Stuff that you won't be able to use: the Pritzker Pavilion, BP Bridge, Lurie Garden and the Chase Promenades. Dangitall!
