Today

In December 2010, the Chicago Parks District unveiled its framework plan for Northerly Island, to be completed over the next 20–30 years. The park will provide a variety of uses year-round with ecology and education central themes. A reef will be built, and the park will be designated into zones of "passive" and "active" relating to the amount of human activity.

Famous quotes containing the word today:

    But today I set the bed afire
    and smoke is filling the room,
    it is getting hot enough for the walls to melt,
    and the icebox, a gluey white tooth.
    I have on a mask in order to write my last words,
    and they are just for you....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 23:43.

    Jesus, to one of the criminals crucified with him.

    Working women today are trying to achieve in the work world what men have achieved all along—but men have always had the help of a woman at home who took care of all the other details of living! Today the working woman is also that woman at home, and without support services in the workplace and a respect for the work women do within and outside the home, the attempt to do both is taking its toll—on women, on men, and on our children.
    Jeanne Elium (20th century)
