Back when I was in medical school, I worked on a research project on the Black River (the next river west of there) in Lorain, Ohio. We netted bullhead catfish and sampled them for liver cancer and found more than 33% of the sampled fish had tumors in their liver.
This was caused by the spent chemicals that the steel plants used to dump into the river. Our research results were presented to both the EPA and before a senate subcommittee on water pollution.
When the boss sent me down river to get lunch for the research group, I couldn't resist the urge to get him a fish sandwich from McDonalds ...

Million dollar air????? The good old Cuyahoga.......... My buddy did swim the across the river and did make it. He was drunk and didnt want to wait for a cab to get back to shooters 
We also betted another buddy that he wouldnt jump in the water for 20 bucks. He did!!! Too bad it was his twenty!! He handed us his wallet to hold!!!!

Of course, your friends were some of the lucky ones....drunk people falling into the river or trying to swim across it used to be a big concern. More than one person didn't make it.
Ahhh...the glory days of The Flats. Haven't been up there this year yet - have they started tearing down all the old crap on the East Bank yet for redevelopment? Or has the weak economy put that on hold?

I still remember the boat parade where the yahoo knocked Heather Locklear out with a beer bottle thrown from the bridge. Cleveland- the epitome of class.
