Bingo! Police! On Tuesday night, March 21, 1967, about 200 people affiliated with transportation industries gathered at Marina City, most likely in one of the restaurants, for a bingo party. That number increased slightly when the police arrived. They confiscated game equipment and arrested one person, the editor of a publication called College of Advanced Traffic, which had sponsored the game. Charles Ohanian (1924-1995) was charged with being the keeper of a gambling establishment.
New Horizons in Sculpture In July 1967, the North Shore Art League sponsored an exhibit at Marina City of Illinois artists. New Horizons in Sculpture featured works such as Detroit Garden, made of parking meters and automobile bumpers. The Door consisted of elaborate electrical machinery that opened a small door. In Emerging Form, a woman appears to have blended into a chaise lounge. |
