Even with officials from several government entities keeping watch, a rogue river dyer (or dyers) managed to elude detection as they dumped colorant into the North Branch of the Chicago River.
The North Branch of the Chicago River, dyed a telltale green, March 13, 2022.
The sanctioned dyeing of the Chicago River — a St. Paddy’s tradition since the 1960s — had taken place the previous day Downtown along the Riverwalk. Friends of the Chicago River had hoped to discourage what’s become a secondary annual occurrence — an unsanctioned dye job on the upper North Branch — by announcing that conservation police would be out in force, on guard for suspicious activity.
