The Chicago River
The Chicago River is the coolest thing ever! In 1900, the Sanitary District of Chicago completely reversed the flow of the river using a series of canal locks. Also, ever year, on St. Patrick's Day, the Chicago River is dyed green! Crazy! Apparently, "the idea of dyeing the Chicago River green originally came about by accident when a group of plumbers were using fluorescein dye to trace illegal substances that were polluting the river".
