| dc.description | The east end of the pier, looking north, showing the Grand Ballroom (built 1916); Navy Pier is a 3,300-foot (1,010 m) long pier on the Chicago shoreline of Lake Michigan. The pier was built in 1916 at a cost of $4.5 million; it was a part of the Plan of Chicago developed by architect and city planner Daniel Burnham and his associates. As Municipal Pier #2 (Municipal Pier #1 was never built), Navy Pier was planned and built to serve as a mixed-purpose piece of public infrastructure. The pier proved to be much more successful as a public gathering place. As rebuilt in the 1990s, the pier's current layout includes fast-food kiosks, shops, a ballroom, a concert stage, and convention exhibition halls. Navy Pier (along with the McCormick Place complex) is now owned and managed by the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority (MPEA). MPEA is a municipal authority created by the Illinois General Assembly. Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (accessed 7/17/2008) | en_US |
