  Chicago; Buckingham Fountain This is one of the horse figurines in the Buckingham Fountain in the middle of Chicago's Grant Park. Every night, there's a water and light show that erupts in the fountain. I thought it was going to be a dangerous place at night but there were tourists all over as well as professional photographers taking pictures of the people in front of the fountain.

Wikipedia Description: Grant Park (Chicago)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Grant Park (originally named Lake Park) is a large park (319 acres or 1.29 km�) in Chicago. The park's most notable features are Buckingham Fountain and the Art Institute of Chicago. Grant Park is frequently referred to as the city's front yard. It is bordered on the north by Randolph Street, on the south by McFetridge Drive (South of Roosevelt Road), on the west by Michigan Avenue and its Chicago Landmark Historic Michigan Boulevard District, and on the east by Lake Michigan.

History:

The original plan for the town of Chicago left the area east of Michigan Avenue unsubdivided and vacant, and purchasers of Michigan Avenue lots were promised that it would remain unoccupied.

When the Illinois Central Railroad was built into Chicago in 1852, it was permitted to enter along the lakefront on a causeway built just offshore. The resulting lagoon became stagnant, and was largely filled in 1871 with debris from the Great Chicago Fire. In 1896 the city began extending Grant Park into the lake with landfill. On October 9, 1901, it was renamed Grant Park in honor of Galena, Illinois resident, American Civil War General and United States President Ulysses S. Grant.

The Plan of Chicago proposed a cultural center, containing a library and two museums, as the centerpiece of the park. Chicago businessman Aaron Montgomery Ward ultimately fought four court battles, opposed by nearly every civic leader, to keep the park undeveloped. The one exception Ward consented to was for the Art Institute of Chi ...More...
