I was fortunate to attend the exciting 2008 Chicago Green Festival at Navy Pier on May 17-18. Over 350 businesses and organizations exhibited, demonstrating the large existing amount of economic activity related to "green" business, as well as the enormous potential in that area.

Wonderful example of adaptive reuse, this conversion of the old Saxophone Shop store by the firm of Morgante-Wilson Architects, Ltd., now serves as their headquarters at 2834 Central Street. This picture was taken in 2007 when the old firehouse was still standing, and before the firm had finished out the building with a balcony and landscaping.
