The Erie Canal

George Pullman was the heir to his father's business in 1848. He moved buildings so that a canal could be widened and made some money but it wasn't going to last forever. By 1857, Chicago was starting to reap the consequences of trying to make too much Chicago way too fast. It just sounds like nature is fighting back. We were never meant to be there. There's a category of cities that are direct affronts to God. People were never supposed to live there in any kind of quantity.
