Contrast of the Main Branch of the Chicago River 1928 and Today
The first two photos on this page show similar views of the Main Branch of the Chicago River, looking east of the Michigan Ave. bridge (1928 - above and the current view below). The third photograph shows a view looking west from the N. Lake Shore Dr. bridge which provides an even more dramatic contrast with the top photo.
