And as much as I hate BP (we haven't bought their gas for years, because of the mercury and other toxins they have dumped into Lake Michigan), I would never advocate pouring oil on that architectural gem. So they gave $5 million to build it: that's $5 million out of their pockets and a beautiful world-class bridge for the citizens of Chicago.
Mayor Daley sells names all over the place (unless you're Fred Hampton), but nobody ever knows or uses those names.
