Sorry for the mass mailing and/or duplication if you have already gotten this, but I hope you will consider signing this petition to try and save the old Prentice Women's Hospital by Bertrand Goldberg. Northwestern University has said they intend to file for a demolition permit next week, so the time to act is NOW!!!! It only takes two seconds.
Here is a link to the petition;
