An Icon Is Retired:

On the last day of operations for Pacific Park’s Ferris wheel on the Santa Monica Pier, spcaLA Animal Assisted Therapy volunteers and their canine companions pause for a pose on Sunday, May 4. Pacific Park provided free rides on the Ferris wheel, while donating $1 for every rider to spcaLA, which totaled $2,407. A new Ferris wheel will be installed and in operation before the end of the month.
