Tomorrow I’m going to be in the Naperville Sun regarding my apparent revolutionary method of drawing attention to an issue in downtown Naperville. I won’t comment on this too much just yet. (Mostly because I’m beyond exhausted of re-telling the story to every single person I have ever known.) Insert fifty cents in to the nearest Sun paper machine tomorrow morning and don’t be one of those jerks who pays for one paper then takes five like I saw this morning.
The Moser Tower and Millennium Carillon officially opens on Sunday. I did a lot of internet leg-work back in the dark ages of the carillon before the city decided to give the remaining funding. I wrote this page up and spread it around to pretty much every online community that could possibly be interested in seeing something as amazing as the Naperville carillon being completed. I can’t find the newspaper articles online anymore, but apparently city council’s email box was literally flooded with people all over the world supporting the funding of the carillon. It felt really awesome to have started a world-wide movement like that, and seeing the tower completed along with finally visiting the observation deck will bring the whole experience full circle.
Something I wasn’t aware of is the sheer scale of Moser Tower compared to other landmarks. The image to the right displaying the Moser Tower and the Statue of Liberty blew my mind. (Source: naperville-carillon.org)
