I removed a claim that Navy Pier was the #1 tourist attraction in Illinois. The claim linked to a site maintained by "Crain's Chicago Business," but a check of the reference showed that Crain's had, as of 8/8/06, revised their figures; they now say that the Emopress Joliet Casino is the top tourist attraction in greater Chicago, with Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo being the largest publicly-operated attraction.

According to this article, the site was renamed Navy Pier after World War II. The "Encyclopedia of Chicago" website contradicts this, stating that the pier was renamed in 1927 to honor WWI navy veterans. ( http://www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/875.html)

Hi, Just came to the article to find out that there are no other measurements apart from how long it is: 3,300-foot (1,010 m). No width, height above mean sea level (lake in this case), etc. Maybe someone can find this and update it.
