The Wikipedia:WikiProject Chicago/COTW/To Do page will be used to summarize tasks that would improve current and past CHICOTW pages. It is a good way to remember what we would like to see accomplished on pages that we have looked closely at in prior weeks and to guide the current week's work. Please feel free to make changes to this page as you see fit.
Discuss in introduction natural movement of sand from north to south in Lake
Give dates when beaches are guarded, May 15? to Sept 15?
List beaches from north to south
So far there are only 24 beaches listed. Which ones are we missing?--Some of the streetend beaches in Rogers Park--plus one of the inland beaches--I think that Humboldt park is the only inland beach left.
Add coordinates for each beach (added block information).
State which park each beach is a part of
Add details for each major beach
Photos (North Ave beachhouse, new Oak St restaurant, Volleyball courts, dog beach, etc.)
What is the name of the marina to the west of Northerly Island? Is it part of the park? Can members of the public dock their boats there?
Is the Museum Campus in Burnham Park or Grant Park? Websites conflict, and the Park District site doesn't say. The southern boundary is 56th Street for certain.
Additional graphics depicting statues or art-deco features.
Additional details of interior design or function for any of the buildings or locations, e.g. quantitative facts of floor space, offices, technology upgrades, employees served, etc.
What were/are approximate boundaries before and after Circle Campus (later called UIC) was built on top of eastern half of Little Italy?
Ida B Wells housing projects--are they still there?
Borders Greektown on the north, Maxwell St to the south, I don't know name of area(s) to the west, south.
Where was Hull House before they moved it? Where is it now?
Mention Italian Ice vendors.
Mention St Ignatius College Prep with time of founding, Our Lady of Pompeii Church, Our Lady of Norte Dame Church, Holy Guardian Angel.
Mention legend of Father Damen building the huge Holy Family Church, then praying for it to be spared during the Great Chicago Fire, the wind shifting and the Fire heading north and destroying the rest of Chicago instead.
Any famous residents? Did Mother Cabrini live/work in Little Italy?
Clarify boundaries as per
AKeen's comments accompanying his vote: "Moreover, its boundaries need to be clarified, since it says Printer's Row is one of the area's Neighborhoods, while "The Loop" article claims the same thing."
