OpenStudy (paki):

OpenStudy (inowalst):

Hmm.. I dont know. Chicago?

OpenStudy (paki):

yeah Chicago is correct.... "The city has many different Saint Patrick's Day celebrations, the most famous being the dyeing of the Chicago River. Each year, the city hosts a parade downtown, which is preceded by the dyeing of the Chicago River. The dyeing of the river involves thousands of people lining the banks of the river and watching as a boat releases dye into the river and turns the river a kelly green color. The Chicago Journeymen Plumbers Union Local 130 has historically sponsored the river dyeing and know the secret to the dye mix."

OpenStudy (inowalst):

Oh wow. They dye a river? That's interesting.. How would they clean it, though?

OpenStudy (paki):
