If I remember my history, the flow of the Chicago River was originally reversed some time back in the 1800’s, to flow downstream instead of into Lake Michigan, carrying away sewage. It is no longer used for that. It is actually a nice spot, with open air restaurants and boats that go up and down with tour guides giving architectural history along the way. The downtown/lakefront area is actually very nice.

Well, I thought it looked OK, but didn't know about the tour boats. Of course the last time I saw it was in the 80s.
They still had some pink air with the scary looking little cottonball clouds.
