we've pretty much given up the ghost regarding saving jackson park from the designs of the obama fundation but i sent letters to various individuals asking their help in saving the rest of the remaining lakefront from similar blundering incursions and from the army corps of engineers brutal idea of making the entire shoreline a massive concrete barrier. it feel good to write your heart sometimes even when matters of the heart, nature, open space and the common good are de facto lost causes. so, for the love of ghosts and lost causes.
