[4k] Walking Tour of Millennium Park (Cloud Gate, Bean Sculpture) Chicago Illinois USA
Millennium Park is a public park located in the Loop community area of Chicago in Illinois operated by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and managed by MB Real Estate. The park was originally intended to celebrate the third millennium and is a prominent civic center near the city's Lake Michigan shoreline that covers a 24.5-acre (99,000 m2) section of northwestern Grant Park. The area was previously occupied by parkland, Illinois Central's rail yards, and parking lots.[1] The park, which is bounded by Michigan Avenue, Randolph Street, Columbus Drive and East Monroe Drive, features a variety of public art. As of 2009, Millennium Park trailed only Navy Pier as a Chicago tourist attraction and by 2017 it had become the number one tourist attraction in the Midwestern United States. In 2015, the park became the location of the city's annual Christmas tree lighting.
Planning of the park began in October 1997. Construction began in October 1998, and Millennium Park was opened in a ceremony on July 16, 2004, four years behind schedule. The three-day opening celebrations were attended by some 300,000 people and included an inaugural concert by the Grant Park Orchestra and Chorus. The park has received awards for its accessibility and green design.[2] Millennium Park has free admission,[3] and features the Jay Pritzker Pavilion, Cloud Gate, the Crown Fountain, the Lurie Garden, and various other attractions. The park is connected by the BP Pedestrian Bridge and the Nichols Bridgeway to other parts of Grant Park. Because the park sits atop a parking garage and the commuter rail Millennium Station, it is considered the world's largest rooftop garden.
Some observers consider Millennium Park the city's most important project since the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893.[3][4] It far exceeded its originally proposed budget of $150 million. The final cost of $475 million was borne by Chicago taxpayers and private donors. The city paid $270 million; private donors paid the rest,[5] and assumed roughly half of the financial responsibility for the cost overruns.[6] The construction delays and cost overruns were attributed to poor planning, many design changes, and cronyism. Many critics have praised the completed park.
In 2017, Millennium Park was the top tourist destination in Chicago and the Midwest, and placed among the top ten in the United States with 25 million annual visitors.[7]

Modernized Dover Traction Elevators @ Best Western Grant Park Hotel, Chicago, IL
(Filmed on 12/21/18 featuring Dominic, CHI Elevators, WI Sirens & Elevators, elevatorsoflakecounty, and Ronin). These are the elevators in the Best Western Grant Park Hotel. It appears that these elevators are Dover modernized with Adams. While these cabs may look nice for a hotel, they are pretty small and can only fit about four people without getting cramped.
Because of that, Dominic & Alex had to sit out for this video. Also, this hotel sort of has a depressing vibe to it with the clumpy-looking ceiling designs. Who knew the name of the hotel can really speak out for itself. ???????????????? Out of all the nicest hotels in Chicago, this is definitely not one of them.

Chicago's Lakefront | Grant Park
The heart of Grant Park is Buckingham Fountain on the site of Montgomery Ward's last stand. Architects Bennett, Parsons and Frost, modeled it on one of the fountains at Versailles. But it's twice as large. In fact, it was the largest decorative fountain in the world when it was completed in 1927. The central jet shoots water 13 stories into the sky. The fountain symbolizes Lake Michigan. The four bronze sea creatures represent the four bordering states.
