WTTW to Premiere CHICAGO RIVER TOUR WITH GEOFFREY BAER
If you had told a Chicagoan 100 years ago that a tour of the Chicago River would top every visitor's list, you would have been laughed out of town. What was once a meandering weed-choked stream turned smelly industrial channel is now lined with soaring skyscrapers and jammed with tour boats jockeying for position with kayakers and water taxis. Today the Chicago River is more popular than ever, with a new Riverwalk, dramatic new towers and boathouses, and entire new neighborhoods rising along the river's edge.
