You may well ask, "Larry, have you gone batty?!? What's up with the cows?!?" Chicago had ~300 fiberglass cows, decorated by local artists with themes illustrating different aspects of life in Chicago, as a part of the 1998-1999 "Cows on Parade" exhibit. The Cows exhibit was inspired from a similar project in Zurich, and was organized in Chicago by a Wilmette resident. One of the artists who worked on the exhibit also lives in Wilmette, and frequently decorates his house with the "half a cow" he has left from the main exhibits. In addition, Wilmette has 12 of the cows on display at the Plaza del Lago shopping center. These were "borrowed" to stimulate business during the Sheridan Road construction project.

• Here's a photo album of various shots of these cows.
