Chicago River

From yesterday’s Frozen World shoot.

From the Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

The Chicago River is 156 miles (251 km) long,[1] and flows through downtown Chicago. Though not especially long, the river is notable for the 19th century civil engineering feats that directed its flow south, away from Lake Michigan, into which it previously emptied, and towards the Mississippi River basin. This was done for reasons of sanitation. The river is also noted for the local custom of dyeing it green on St. Patrick’s Day.
