The Picasso sculpture marks the heart of Daley Plaza, which is the place to be come lunchtime, particularly when the weather warms. You never know what will be going on – dance performances, bands, ethnic festivals, holiday celebrations, a farmers market (7am to 3pm Thursdays) – but you do know it'll be free. City Hall rises to the plaza's west over Clark St.
Daley Plaza remains a pilgrimage site to many as the film location where the Blues Brothers drove through and crashed into the Daley Center's plate glass windows.
