Today’s Ferris Wheel At Navy Pier

The Ferris Wheel at Navy Pier at night. It is a smaller replica of the original wheel built by George Ferris for the World’s Columbian Exposition. If you get the chance you should ride it. It offers a nice view of Chicago’s Skyline.

Water Taxi On The Chicago River

A water taxi on the Chicago River. I don’t really know how they work, but I guess if you really want to ride a water taxi, you could find one at ChicagoWaterTaxi.com or ShorelineWaterTaxi.com

The Centennial Fountain

Located at McClurg Ct and the Chicago River, the Nicholas J. Melas Centennial Fountain was built in 1989 for the 100th anniversary of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago. The fountain goes off every hour during the summer months. The idea was to have an arch of water start on the north bank of the river and fall on the south bank. Unfortunately, when it goes off, there’s water all over the place. Some blame it on bad math and engineering, others on the fact that you can’t really completely control nature (water in this case). Anyway, when it does go off almost all boat traffic on the river stops. It’s not mandatory. All the tour boats that will end up around the fountain when it goes off and would have to go through the water, ask their passengers if they wish to just wait for it to stop or go through. If there’s an unanimous agreement to go through the water jet, the boat will. It’s pretty nice to watch.

Fireworks at Navy Pier (August 30th, 2008)

Each year, during the summer, on every Wednesday and Saturday nights, there are fireworks at Navy Pier. It’s a pretty nice way to end a summer’s night at Navy Pier. You would expect to see only children there, but that’s not the way it is. Lots of adults seem to enjoy the fireworks. So did I. The pictures above are from August 30th – the last show for the summer of 2008. If you missed them, make sure you come back next summer (from the end of May till the end of August/beginning of September) to catch one of the shows.
