Old Yankee Stadium

So much baseball history sitting right in front of you . The original Yankee Stadium was a stadium located in the Bronx, New York City. It was the home ballpark of the New York Yankees, one of the city's Major League Baseball (MLB) franchises, from 1923 to 1973 and then from 1976 to 2008. The stadium hosted 6,581 Yankees regular season home games during its 85-year history. It was also the former home of the New York Giants National Football League (NFL) team from 1956 through the first part of the 1973–74 NFL season. The stadium's nickname, "The House That Ruth Built",[3] is derived from Babe Ruth, the baseball superstar whose prime years coincided with the stadium's opening and the beginning of the Yankees' winning history. It has often been referred to as "The Cathedral of Baseball".

Mission San Juan Capistrano

Crowned the “Jewel of the Missions,” Mission San Juan Capistrano stands today as a significant religious monument and a testament to California’s rich multicultural history. Like the other California Missions along El Camino Real, San Juan Capistrano was established to evangelize and spread the Catholic faith to the Native Americans. This sacred space has been revered not only as an important historical site but also as a work of art in itself. At the heart of the Mission is the Serra Chapel, the only remaining church where the founding father celebrated Mass in 1783. Since then, it has continued to serve the Catholic community as a place to worship, host weddings, perform baptisms, and officiate funerals.

Ferris Bueller

Almost exactly 110 years after the original wheel was demolished, a new Ferris wheel opened on Navy Pier in 2016. Part of Navy Pier’s larger redesign for its centennial celebration, this new amusement ride replaced an earlier wheel installed in 1995. Both the 1995 and the 2016 wheels were manufactured by Dutch Wheels. Known as the Centennial Wheel, the new attraction measures 196 feet in height and has 42 gondolas. While this Ferris wheel won’t contend for the “world’s tallest” title, it is currently the sixth-tallest wheel in the United States. But bigger isn’t always better. The Centennial Wheel makes up for its average stature with new amenities, including air-conditioned gondolas and high-tech safety glass.
