Here is a video of the traditional coloring of the Chicago River for St. Patrick's Day celebrations this weekend.

Yes, it's been a tradition for many years...It happens on the morning of the St. Patrick's Day parade in Chicago.
The coloring is gone by the end of the day, but everything else looks green after a weekend of drink and bar hopping.
ohhhh, my head! Rolling Eyes
