CHICAGO'S LAKEFRONT
December 31, 2008
1h 40m
Overview
Join us for a journey along our most famous front yard. The eyes of the world were on Chicago's Lakefront on election night 2008 as tens of thousands of people gathered there to celebrate with President-Elect Barack Obama. Chicago's lakefront is unique in the world. It's a seventeen-mile-long people's paradise that belongs to all of us. WTTW's popular on-air host, producer and Chicago Architecture Foundation docent Geoffrey Baer will re-trace his steps in Chicago's Lakefront, an all-new documentary tour shot in High Definition. Chicago's Lakefront debuted on WTTW11 and WTTWD on December 1 just a month before the start of the 100th anniversary year of Daniel Burnham's great Plan of Chicago, which transformed the lakefront into an unbroken ribbon of public parks.
