Chicago is sinking, say geologists

The question is, can the Cubs win a world series before the windy city disappears?

While a millimetre a year seems modest, that translates into a downward motion for Chicago of four inches a century. Moreover, there is a potentially even more significant effect on water levels in Lake Michigan. As the motion continues, more water is gathering at the lake's southern end where Chicago sits.

"Water is moving from the Canadian side, slowly but surely, to the US side," commented Chuck Southam of Environment Canada, which studies water levels in the Great Lakes. "Over a century, it's got quite an effect." Not such a large one that anyone is calling Chicago the Venice of America. Not yet.

WE NEED YOU!!!!!!!!

WHILE YOU STILL CAN! :scared:

The US is "going down."

And with the rise of elevation of our neighbor to the north, we can honestly call them "Uppity Canadians."

:-) :thumbsup:

The city was raised at least one story above the original grade. Not noticable in the Loop,, but you can tell in the close-in neighborhoods like Pilsen and Bridgport...

this is the profit-seeking doing of some corporation, i just KNOW it! see who is donating to politicians promoting water privitization and you will see who would benefit most from an increase in american, lake michigan water, as opposed to all those other great lakes that we have to split with canada!

I agree, it's time we invaded Canuckistan!

They have a lot to answer for!

First Bryan "Bloody" Adams and now this.

;)

Don't tell anyone I said that, but I have this thing for him. Sometimes. :P

Please, let it be so!!!

Hopefully "Boston" will be sunk too, if they hadn't already years ago.
