RIVER NORTH — You can't crap on our town and get away with it.
In 2004, a Dave Matthews Band tour bus notoriously dumped 800 pounds of human waste while crossing the Kinzie Street railroad bridge, showering passengers on an open-air architectural river cruise below with nasty stuff.
Now, with the 11-year anniversary of the dump approaching, a small sign has appeared on the River North bridge reminding passersby to never forget.

The sign appeared a bit early for the August anniversary, but history lessons are always appreciated.
For what it's worth, the band later donated $50,000 to the Chicago Park District and Friends of the Chicago River in an effort "to begin the healing process," according to the Tribune.
