This is a view of the Chicago River looking west from the south end of the Wabash Avenue bridge. That's the R. R. Donnelly Center on the left, and Marina City on the right. If you look closely you may also recognize 55 West Wacker, the LaSalle-Wacker Building and the Builder's Building on the left and the ghost of the Merchandise Mart, the Quaker Tower, and the Chicago Westin (formerly Hotel Nikko) on the right.

And then, of course, there's that great cascade of water. The Chicago River is not small.
