It was a little after nine when we finally got into the city, and we were all sure there was place we had to go. The others had talked about how much they had wanted to Navy Pier before we even left; even the two other people from Chicago want to go. No matter how much they wanted to go, I couldn’t get myself to want to go as much as they did. The thing is that Navy Pier is one of the most touristy places in the whole city, which means that it’s always filled to the brim with people, and I’m not…

With spring in the air, the ice that covers much of Lake Michigan is finally melting away. All that snow melt means that the lake is unusually clear, and although the water temperature is still far from friendly, it is giving a great view of shipwrecks. During a routine patrol last Friday, a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter stationed out of Traverse City, Michigan snapped a bunch of shipwreck photos. Many of them wrecks date from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. The members of the…

Do you listen to your parents? Most teens don 't follow their parents directions, teens think parents don 't know what they 're talking about or they 're not “fun”, so they do whatever they want. That 's what I did and it didn 't end well. It was 4 years ago on a hot summer day. I was outside playing basketball with my little brother when my grandpa came outside and asked me, “Do you want to go to the lake?” I replied, “Sure, but I can 't swim that good.” He exclaimed, “You can wear…

Do you know that there is another mysterious triangle exists in the United States as well? The triangle that I’m speaking of is the third largest Great Lakes in the world and the only Great Lake located in the United States, “Lake Michigan Triangle.” Like the well-known Bermuda Triangle, Lake Michigan is also a place where many ships and planes mysteriously disappeared without any trace. The triangle is believed to run from Ludington south to Benton Harbor, went across the lake to Manitowoc,…

The City of Evanston presents an interesting case study into the relationship between universities and the cities in which they reside. Evanston, a suburb of Chicago, is located in Cook County, Illinois and is the home to Northwestern University, a major research university. Northwestern’s 240-acre campus sits right outside the city’s central business district and serves more than 16,000 students. With the majority of the 8,000 undergraduate students living in on-campus housing or in the…

Glistening on Lake Michigan, the sun peeked from behind the clouds. I rolled up the bottom of my jeans, to just below my knees, and slid my ivory ankles and feet into the lake. I let the wind play with my hair and tie the bleach-blonde ends into little knots--the ones that were always tough to untangle. How long am I going to be sitting here? My palms pushed through the baked, thirsty sand, leading my fingers to do the same. What could he be doing up there? At that moment all I had known was…

In 1980, after some devastating rainfall and sub sequential flooding, the carp found their way into the rivers and streams. The Asian carp have found a way to move up both the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers by eating the plankton and plant life. These carp reproduce at a rapid rate further compounding the problem (Nelson). The largest fear at the time was that the carp would swim far enough north and make it into the waters of the Great Lakes. In 2002 the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers turned on…

The Red Tide Kyle X. Singleton 10/11/2015 GEOS101 Jennifer Lundberg From being a small child in Chicago, to now being an adult, I have traveled to quite a few different places and now even live on a different coast. During these travels, I’ve seen a number of different waters in the places I’ve lived and even more with me being in the Navy. I honestly thought that Lake Michigan was pretty clean growing up with the exception of the seaweed and litter floating around. While at…

Industrial Pollution in the Great Lakes Pollution within the Great Lakes region has been an issue since before the 1970s, when pollution in this area caused concern, resulting in the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement between Canada and the United States. This was in place to improve water quality of the Great Lakes region. However, we are still struggling with pollution in the Great Lakes- and all over the world. As countries develop, they become more industrial to meet high market demands of…
