Did you know???
That in the mid 1800?s Chicago was lifted 10 feet. All of the buildings even the large brick hotels were jacked up and some moved around so a sewer system could be installed. Until that time human feces ran through the streets and the hard flat clay the town was built on wouldn?t drain. The sewer worked great except the waste was drained into the Chicago River which was the source for the city?s drink water. Uh oh. Can you say Cholera??

There are still remnants of the swampy ground to the Southwest. Ten percent of Cook County is forest preserves. Some of the swampy ground has been preserved.
The whole reason they put Chicago where they did is it was close to the low point in the continental divide between the Mississippi and St. Lawrence river drainage basins.
The Illinois and Michigan Canal was built through the low ground so goods could travel between the Great Lakes or the east coast via the Erie canal, and the Mississippi river. The canal met the divide in what is now the near Southwest suburb of Summit.
Before that, the Voyageurs had long ago discovered it was the lowest, shortest route to portage their canoes and furs between the upper Mississippi and the Great Lakes. Joliet, 30 miles to the southwest, was named for Louis Joliet, an early fur trapper in the region.
There's said to be something about the area Southwest of Chicago that is conducive to paranormal activity. It is said to be one of the most heavily haunted regions in the world.
Archer Avenue runs along the Des Plaines river, and that is where Resurrection Mary allegedly used to hitchhike. Batchelor Grove cemetery,said to be one of the most haunted sites in North America, was nearby.
There are supposedly many other less famous ghosts there as well.0 -

Chicago still has feces running down the street - and the city.
With the blood of thousands running in the streets it must smell and be hell.
