The Leaning Tower of Chicago

     If you were in River North early this morning, you may have noticed this peculiar sight:
     No, that's not some alien spaceship landing.  That is a water tower being taken down from the roof of a building at 409 W. Huron.  It sprung a leak on Friday afternoon, and spilled 18,000 Gallons of water on two neighboring buildings.  The tank was roughly 100 years old and had already failed an inspection, so it was only a matter of time before something like this happened.  Luckily, it was removed before it could cause any more damage.
