Over the years there have been many cool, temporary public art displays in downtown Chicago. I enjoyed cows, globes, canines and more.
The latest art installation along Michigan Avenue features 15 larger-than-life goalie masks commemorating and celebrating the 25th season of the Chicago Wolves hockey team. Each mask features a different design worn by a former Chicago Wolves goalie, including current GM and former Turner Cup champion Wendell Young.

The art display kicks off the “Last Team Standing” campaign of the Wolves. In its history, the Wolves won six conference championships, nine division titles and earned more than 1,000 wins. The Wolves have carved a niche in a town owned by the Chicago Blackhawks.
The unveiling ceremony featured interactive displays and appearances by past and present Wolves players. Thousands of fans and spectators filled Pioneer Court to join the celebration. It concluded with a special laser light show.
Wolves co-founder and owner Don Levin stated this is all just a small preview of things to come as the Wolves celebrate the silver anniversary season. The fun really begins at the Wolves home opener at the Allstate Arena on Saturday, Oct. 13.

Oct 23, 2026The Flight Less Taken: Unsung Carriers Whisk You Away to Far-Flung Destinations
The miracle of flight feels slightly less miraculous these days. Endless delays, cramped seating and shortchanged amenities feel par for the course, and one can easily forget the wondrous fact that you’re hurtling above planet Earth, soaring above the clouds and across the skies to your destination of choice. In the olden days, you were limited to the fallibility of your outrigger canoe or horse-drawn carriage. It’s not hyperbolic to invoke the invention of the wheel when reminding oneself to stay calm and carry on in coach.
