Chicago
This is how it looks when all the bridges (apparently 42 of them) on the Chicago river open up to let the tall boats/ships pass by. As I walked this afternoon over the Michigan Avenue Bridge, they started closing the bridge entrance on either end. Within a fw mins, I had the chance to witness the bridges opening, something that I had not seen until today. It was awesome to see the bridge go up so fast. What was funny was that when this giant bridge opened up, a very small boat - barely a few feet taller than the height of the closed bridge, passed by. I heard that the bridges open every Wednesday and Saturday to let the boats pass thr.
