Todd and I had a tour of Grant Park today. This is the park we look at from our front windows. During the tour, I saw and learned two more interesting points about the park. First, there is this great statute of Christopher Columbus at the south end of the park marking the entrance into the park on Columbus Drive.
The other surprise and really interesting point was about the section of the park called the "Hall of the Presidents". Currently, the only statue of presidents in the park is of Abraham Lincoln at the north end. The original plans included one more statue on the south end. It was to be of George Washington. I would love to see a statute of George in the park!
