2:24 PM I just called the Chicago Park District. I was transferred to the central division. They stated that they do not control the fountain and that I should contact the Parkways Foundation.
2:27 PM I called Parkways and they have no idea- They only deal with fund raising.
2:33 PM On my third call Janice, the operator for Chicago Park District transferred me again to the Central Park District. Patrick Levar is in charge of the fountain. He may or may not be in the building. Janice will have him call me. His assistant is out of the office. I was able to leave a voice mail for her.
I will post any further updates!
I just laughed when I saw this. Why use your fist when you can use your head? Gawker reports:
Kiefer Sutherland is trying to explain why he head-butted designer Jack McCollough at a Met Costume Institute gala after-party Tuesday night, possibly violating his probation. He says he was defending the honor of Brooke Shields, who was knocked over by McCollough, according to Sutherland. Alternate theory: serial drunk driver Sutherland was just completely wasted, which is why he was running around a hotel bar earlier in the evening “wearing a giant feather boa and acting totally crazy.”

I posted a few days ago about how the Chicago Park District blatantly lied to me. I contacted Gery J. Chico, of Chico & Nunes, P.C., who is the President of the Chicago Park District Board of Commissioners. Gery didn’t feel the need to take the time to reply to my message.
Gery J. Chico do your job, or step down. If you wish to tell him what you think about his inaction you can call him at 312-884-5666. His office address is 333 West Wacker Drive, Suite 1800, Chicago, IL 60606.
All I want to know is why Buckingham Fountain is not in operation, contradictory to what is stated in this press release. I also requested an apology for the park district flat out lying to me. Guess you cant always get what you want.
Hi Kraft.
I had a few days that I paid attention in school. I can read numbers. I can put some things together. I cannot figure out when this crap expires tho: 
Is it Feb 1, 2011 or Feb 11, 2002? Or is it Feb 11, 2001? Why can’t Kraft just put a normal date on it? Like one without a ton of extra random numbers?
Seeing Calvin win today was amazing. His story is amazing. His race was amazing. His horse, Mine That Bird, a $9,500 horse, was amazing. 
After visiting Buckingham Fountain on 4/30/2009 at 9PM and it not operating as outlined (here) I wrote them a nice email asking about the status. All I got back was a big lie. Read More »
Not that I manage to post every day, but today I am. And I am silent.
FOX seems to think it is wise to not put their shows online after they have aired them. I think fox is ignorant. Because I cannot watch House online 24 hours after it aired I am downloading it illegally. Come and get me.
I hope to see a law in the near future requiring companies to simultaneously offer their shows online along with airing them on broadcast television.
This idiot from West Virginia is attempting to ban Barbie.
Why?
Because he doesn’t like how she looks. But really, that’s it.
How stupid.
This man was not harmed by Barbie in any way. He is just some dumb idiot that is looking to end his career in public service with a bang!
Full story and contact info for Jeff Eldridge so you can tell him what an idiot he is.
