That's the Dunham Building:

I saw that too, but I don't know what's planned for it.
Regarding the Children's Museum - if the city can find a good site for it, away from Grant Park, it will have a much better chance of making an architectural statement. It would also have room to grow. We all know how museums like to build additions over time... for this reason alone, the Grant Park location would be a problem.
Northerly Island seems like a natural location, or someplace by the river in an expanded Ping Tom Park. I also like the idea someone here mentioned recently of turning Goose Island into a park. I think that would have been a much better site for the Olympic Stadium.
