| Millennium
Park
Just
next door is Millennium Park, the newest
and brightest public showcase to arrive
in Chicago. This marvelous venue has
made Lakeshore East the most sought after
area to live in the city. Millennium
Park excites the neighborhood with interactive
art, walking paths and bridges, outdoor
dining and a variety of free concerts.
The park’s prominent features include
the Jay Pritzker Pavillion, an outdoor
wonderland where music meets the stars;
Anish Kapoor’s Cloud Gate sculpture,
a reflective “bean” that
merges Chicago with open skies; and Jaume
Plensa’s Crown Fountain, where
children delight in cascading water that
playfully flows from giant video walls.
Millennium Park is the center of the
universe right now. People come from
all over the world to see this park.
And just think, it’s right in your
back yard. |
