The Baltimore World Trade Center, at 401 East Pratt Street, was built in 1977 by Henry Cobb and Pershing Wong of I.M. Pei & Partners. At 32 floors and 405-feet, it is the world's tallest even-sided pentagonal building (the five-sided JPMorgan Chase Tower in Houston, Texas is taller, but has unequal sides). Perched at the Harbor's edge, the building appears to rise out of the water, suggesting the prow of a ship. The 27th-flor has an observation deck, called "Top of the World," that offers panaromic views of Baltimore during daytime hours.

The Pratt Street Power Plant (far left), also known as the Pier Four Power Plant, at 601 East Pratt Street, was built in Neo-Classical style by the architectural firm of Baldwin & Pennington between 1900 and 1909. From 2001-2003, the 132-foot by 326-foot complex, consisting of three brick with terra cotta trim structures, was converted to the mixed-use project, Power Plant Live!

The National Aquarium in Baltimore (far right), at 501 East Pratt Street on Pier 3 of the Inner Harbor, is the most visited attraction in Maryland, with an an annual attendance of 1.6 million to see its collection of approximately 16,500 specimens and more than 660 species of animals.

A Disney Tale of the Savanna - Environ (Jambo House at Animal Kingdom Lodge)

This is a Disney Tale of the Savanna:

ENVIRON
Before the coming of the animals, the plants raced to claim the best soil in the savanna. The quick grasses grew first. But, in time, they were pushed aside by the thick roots of the bushes. Yet, the bushes could not hold back the trees. And, so it went, until only the trees remained. The clouds overhead, angered by the greed of the trees, struck them with bolts of lightning causing great fires and clearing the land so the grasses and bushes could return. And, to this day, whenever the trees grow too bold, the lightning returns to make things on the savanna even again.
