Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood.
--Daniel Burnham
Wednesday night Molly, Chris, and I made our way to the National Mall to watch a new documentary on Daniel Burnham, a gentleman some consider to be the founder of modern city planning. This was a pretty cool event since it was outside on the Mall, and it was free!
Mark your calendars for September 6, 2010. That is the national preimere of the film on PBS.
And check out Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Maddess at the Fair that Changed America. It is all about Burnham designing the Chicago's Worlds Fair contrasted against a serial killer praying on the fair goers. Really interesting. And true.
