I remember when I was in Chicago in 2006, navy pier struck me as rather corporate flavor of entertainment, a little slice of Orlando on Lake Michigan.

I don't know the history, was this an urban renewal project of a previously blighted area? I would congratulate them in that case, since flashing lights and mojitos are much preferred to spooky, empty warehouses.

I'm not sure about the revamp, I guess it will be interesting to see how things progress. I need to get back soon to see all the new construction and activity!
