The Ferris Wheel

The Ferris Wheel, from the World's Columbian Exposition still here, changed cars, changed locations. People still want to ride on high and see Chicago stretched out at their feet. Yes, you can. Come to Chicago and ride the Ferris Wheel, look at the sprawl, the dirt, the lights from 200 feet up. Then, go out, find your spot,  and make a difference somewhere there.

Original Ferris Wheel at the 1893 Chicago World's Columbian Exposition. Although the original Ferris Wheel was demolished, a new wheel lives on in Chicago at Navy Pier in Chicago, with structural similarities and inspiration from Ferris's original wheel. [Source: Wikipedia, Chicago Tribune]
