CHICAGO RIVER
Every March a plumbers' union turns the Chicago River green. The idea started in 1961, when a plumber's overalls came back green from the dye he used to trace leaks. Mayor Daley wanted Lake Michigan. They settled for the river. The first dyeing, in 1962, took about 100 pounds of dye. Today it's about 40.
On the shirt: the bascule bridge across the back, the river under it. Mayvick six-county mark stitched at the left wrist.
