… more specifically, the two new pavilions in the park dedicated to the centennial of the Chicago Plan, as envisioned by Burnham and Bennett. I have not gotten a photo of them yet.
First: maybe it was just that particular evening, but I noticed as many or more professional (looking) photographers taking photos of the new pavilions as there were actual people milling around and photographing them. Tripods and such. I think these might be more exciting to the press and architecture photographers than the average person; or maybe that’s just me who is underwhelmed by them.
Second: walking around Millennium Park, I overhear a lot of people talking about their childhoods. Totally supports my idea that the park is a big playground for adults as well as children.

I think your instincts about the Burnham pavilions are right on the money – and I’m pretty heavily into architecture myself.
