It is time once again to share a segment of Ask Geoffrey, Chicago's PBS WTTW offers this great question and answer session of video interviews with Geoffrey Baer. This video goes into the S.S. Aquarama at Navy Pier and what happened to it? What’s the history behind Navy Pier’s Grand Ballroom? And what is Groverland Park. Some very interesting stuff if you are into Chicago and our history. Check it out with me and enjoy.

Hi Noah -- I agree with Brian England the Ask Geoffrey series shares lots of great information on Chicago --- of course, nothing compares with the expertise you offer.

Great video. We're planning a weekend in Chicago in October for a wedding and we've been told we have to visit the pier. Now we know some of the history
