suitep: Chicago River goes green for St. Patrick’s day. Bill King, the administrator of Chicago’s St. Patrick’s Day committee, stated that “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”. The dyeing of the river is still sponsored by the local plumbers union. Forty pounds of vegetable dye are used to color the river for the celebration. (via) Missed this during my visit.
