“ Meet on the benches* along the lake (north of the Shedd) at 9AM. We wait until 9:15 for anyone running a bit late and then take off promptly. ”
We'll meet at the edge of Lake Michigan between the Shedd and the Field Museum (there are benches* to sit on while waiting). We'll end up walking the path around the back of the Shedd, along the water which goes to Adler Planetarium, loops back and takes us past Soldier Field and McCormick Place to the point where I-55 starts. There we'll turn back around and do the reverse trip, all for a total of 3.5 miles.
We can have coffee/brunch afterwards at Yolk, 1120 S Michigan Ave (half a block north of Roosevelt).
*Benches are located on the curved part of the sidewalk in picture above.

Wreath Laying Ceremony to Take Place
Saturday, May 24, 2008
The Chicago Memorial Day Wreath Laying Ceremony and Parade is scheduled for Saturday, May 24, 2008. The Wreath Laying Ceremony will begin at 11 a.m. at the Eternal Flame on Daley Plaza in Chicago (Dearborn and Washington Streets). The parade will step off at 12:00 (noon) and proceed south on State Street from Wacker Drive to Van Buren Street.
Memorial Day is a day to be thankful that we live in a country where freedom, justice and democracy are proudly defended. The City of Chicago honors all those who gave the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our country, and will include recognition of the Illinois Gold Star Families during the Commemoration. Since September 11, 2001, many residents of Illinois have died while in service; this includes the attack on the Pentagon and the continuing war against terrorism. Chicago's Memorial Day Parade is considered one of the largest events of its kind in the country with 10,000 people participating annually.
Participants include many area high schools' Marching Bands, Drum and Bugle Corps as well as many Veterans' groups, JROTC and the military.
