Shea Stadium (Peoria, Illinois)

Shea Stadium is a soccer stadium in Peoria, Illinois, less than a mile north of Bradley University and just to the west of the USDA National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research. Converted from a baseball stadium to soccer in 2003, it is owned and operated by Bradley University as home of the Bradley Braves men's and women's soccer teams. History The property broke ground around 1968 and opened as a baseball facility in 1970 for Bradley Braves baseball. Its name was chosen to honor Bradley athletic director and baseball coach John "Dutch" Meinen. It served as the home field for Bradley baseball for 32 years, from 1970 to 2001, and the home field for the Peoria Chiefs from their first game on April 19, 1983, to 2001. The baseball field was renovated twice: once in 1982, and once in 1992 when it was given a $2.2 million overhaul. The facility was renamed Pete Vonachen Stadium at Meinen Field on June 6, 1992, in honor of the Chiefs' owner. After the baseball teams moved to O'Brien Field (now Dozer Park) for the 2002 season, the university began to look for other uses for Meinen Field, eventually settling on its current setup as a soccer-only facility. It was substantially reconfigured, with a few remnants of its baseball days remaining: the old press box; most of the first-base seating area, which now forms the main seating area for the soccer field; some of the light standards; and the concession stands and some other outbuildings on the property. On October 25, 2002, Meinen Field was renamed Shea Stadium after Tim Shea, a Bradley University alumnus. The first Bradley soccer game at the newly renovated Shea Stadium was in August 2003. On June 10, 2008, Shea Stadium played host to two Major League Soccer teams in a U.S. Open Cup qualifier when the Chicago Fire played against the Columbus Crew in front 3,829 people, the largest crowd ever to see a soccer game at Shea Stadium. On January 23, 2020, the USL League Two announced that Peoria City would start play in the 2020 season in the Hartland Division of the Central conference, but the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Peoria City, after two years of delay, began play in the Deep North Division of the Central conference. Their first game was on May 14 at Shea against Minneapolis SC Which ended in a 2-2 draw.

It included a 15-acre geothermal lake to heat and cool the hospital, making it the largest geothermal system in Illinois, and one of only two hospitals in the United States using this method. Scenes from the 2011 movie Contagion were shot in the old Sherman Hospital On March 30, 2020, Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker announced that the partially demolished old Sherman Hospital would be converted into an overflow center for COVID-19 patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Private contractors and the US Army Corps of Engineers began work converting the abandoned building into a 230-280 bed facility equipped to handle a surge in hospitalizations caused by the virus. As of December 2020, the site had yet to be used, but the building was in standby mode, ready to accept patients as needed.

Sherman Park

Sherman Park is a 60-acre (24 ha) park in the New City neighborhood of South Side, Chicago. It was designed by renowned landscape architects John Charles Olmsted and Frederick Law Olmsted Jr., and celebrated Chicago architect Daniel Burnham. It opened in 1905. The park's recreational facilities include two gymnasiums, a fitness center, a swimming pool, as well as outdoor space for basketball, tennis, baseball, soccer and football. The park was named for John B. Sherman, Burnham's father-in-law and a founder of Chicago's Union Stock Yards. The park was designed specifically to enrich the immigrant, working class residents of the surrounding neighborhood. Murals In 1912, eight students from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago painted murals in the Sherman Park fieldhouse that came to be known as the American History Series. These murals commemorate events such as the founding of Jamestown in 1607, the Marquette-Joliet Expedition of 1673, and George Rogers Clark's Illinois Campaign of 1778. Over the years the murals became severely damaged due to accumulated soot and varnish. In 2004, restoration on the murals commenced with the park's inclusion in the Mural Preservation Effort, a joint project between the Chicago Park District and the Chicago Conservation Center. The restoration of the Sherman Park murals was completed in mid-2005. History and design Sherman Park was one of ten South Side neighborhood parks designed by the Olmsted Brothers as part of an early twentieth-century reform movement to provide densely populated neighborhoods with recreational space and places for social interaction. Its landscape was organized around active recreation, with athletic fields placed on an island enclosed by a winding lagoon. References

Simons Park

Simons Park is a municipal park located at 1640 N. Drake Avenue in the Humboldt Park community of West Side, Chicago, Illinois. It is administered by the Chicago Park District, and contains full facilities for activities including baseball, boxing, and outdoor basketball. It also contains a full gymnasium, meeting rooms, a children's playground and a spraypool (operated during the summer months). History The property currently occupied by Simons Park was originally farmland, owned and planted by early settlers Edward and Laura Sprague Simons. The original land was bordered by Armitage Avenue, North Avenue, Central Park Avenue and Kedzie Avenue. In 1916, the Fullerton Avenue Business Men's Association proposed creating a public park to serve the neighborhood, however the plan was put on hold until after World War I was over. The Northwest Park District (consolidated into the new Chicago Park District in 1934), made a purchase of land in 1920 to establish the park, and within 8 years, a new fieldhouse had been constructed to finish the park. The fieldhouse was designed by Walter W. Ahlschlager. It was remodeled in 1990 and renovated in the early 2000s. Simon City Royals A 1950s Chicago greaser gang called Simon City originally took their name from the park, as it was the most prominent feature in their territory at the time. After merging with another gang, this gang would eventually become the infamous Simon City Royals street gang. As the neighborhood began to change, the Simon City Royals eventually left the area, leaving their territory behind. References

Crown Hall

El S. R. Crown Hall, diseñado por el arquitecto alemán Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, es la sede del College of Architecture (facultad de Arquitectura) del Instituto de Tecnología de Illinois en Chicago, Illinois. Arquitectura Considerada una de las obras maestras de Mies van der Rohe, el Crown Hall es uno de los edificios más significantes en la arquitectura del Movimiento Moderno. El Crown Hall fue completado en 1956, mientras Mies van der Rohe era director del departamento de Arquitectura del IIT. Situado céntricamente en el campus del Illinois Institute of Technology, al sur del centro de Chicago, el edificio alberga la escuela de arquitectura. El edificio, de dos pisos, se configura como un rectángulo puro, de unos 67 por 36 por 7 metros, que encierra un espacio interior libre de columnas en el nivel superior, apoyado sobre un nivel inferior rehundido. Cuatro vigas de acero soldadas a ocho columnas en H conforman la estructura primaria desde la cual se suspende el techo. Este diseño deriva del restaurante drive in que poco antes van der Rohe había construido, el Cantor Drive-In Restaurant, en 1945. El Crown Hall se caracteriza por una estética de simplicidad industrial, con una estructura de acero expuesta y claramente articulada. Los huecos de la trama de acero se cubren con grandes hojas de vidrio de variada transparencia, resultando una ligera y delicada fachada de cristal envolviendo la planta abierta. Mientras el nivel inferior consiste en habitaciones compartimentadas, el piso superior, que ocupa el 50% del área total del edificio, está dedicado a un único espacio de estudio de arquitectura, cerrado por paredes de vidrio. Mies le llamaba "espacio universal", haciendo entender que era completamente flexible en uso. Tras su inauguración, Mies van der Rohe la declaró "la estructura más clara que hemos hecho, la mejor para expresar nuestra filosofía". Un crítico la llamó "el Partenón del siglo XX.

Chevy Chase (Maryland)

Chevy Chase ist eine Stadt im Montgomery County von Maryland im Großraum von Washington, D.C. Das U.S. Census Bureau hat bei der Volkszählung 2020 eine Einwohnerzahl von 10.176 ermittelt. Gleichzeitig ist es der Name einer ganzen Region, in der mehrere Orte den Namen Chevy Chase führen, darunter ein Stadtteil von Washington, siehe Chevy Chase (Washington, D.C.). Diese Orte haben eine gemeinsame Geschichte. Chevy Chase ist ein typischer Vorort von Washington, D.C. In Chevy Chase liegt ein Zentrum der Jugendorganisation 4-H, in dem jährlich die Endrunde des National Science Bowl stattfindet. Wirtschaft Zum Postbezirk Chevy Chase gehört auch eine Gewerbezone (Friendship Heights), in der sich mehrere Einkaufszentren und der Sitz verschiedener Unternehmen, wie der des Versicherers Geico und der Hotelkette Ritz-Carlton befinden. In Friendship Heights befindet sich auch eine Haltestelle der roten Linie der Washington Metro. Geschichte Chevy Chase war bis 1890 landwirtschaftlich geprägt, danach begann Senator Francis G. Newlands (für Nevada) mit Geschäftspartnern das Land im Nordwesten von Washington, D.C., im südlichen Teil des Montgomery County anzukaufen, um dort eine Siedlung zu errichten. Zu diesem Zweck wurde 1890 das Unternehmen „The Chevy Chase Land Company“ gegründet, das mehr als 6,9 km² entlang der heutigen Connecticut Avenue lag. Der Name „Chevy Chase“ wurde von einem der erworbenen Grundstücke übernommen, das wiederum 1725 als „Cheivy Chace“ von Charles Calvert, 5. Baron Baltimore einem Offizier namens Josef Belt geschenkt wurde. Der Name lässt sich auf eine Schlacht von 1388 zwischen Henry Percy, 1. Earl of Northumberland und James Douglas, 2. Earl of Douglas zurückführen. Damals ging es um die Cheviot Hills an der Grenze zwischen England und Schottland. Wie in anderen Vororten in den Vereinigten Staaten durften sich bis ins 20. Jahrhundert aufgrund von Segregation und Rassismus in Chevy Chase keine Schwarzen niederlassen. Francis G. Newlands war ein „überzeugter Rassist“. Die Siedlung wurde anfangs so angelegt, dass nur wohlhabende Bürger Washingtons sich hier niederlassen konnten, die über eigenes Personal verfügten, das Lebensmittel und andere Gebrauchsgüter in der Stadt besorgte. Im 20. Jahrhundert wurden auch günstigere Häuser gebaut, die aber weiterhin nur Weißen vorbehalten waren. Von den 1920ern an wurde explizit untersagt, Häuser an „Negroes“ oder "Semiten" zu verkaufen.
