I agree completely, it is sad that the river seems so abandoned. In Columbus, OH they have two large polluted rivers that run through the city and downtown. Rather than ignore them, people build restaurant patios overlooking them, walking trails, parks, they make money from the rivers, and I enjoy getting to see the water! I don't need to swim in it. The only place downtown with a river view is Grand Plaza Benthams' (that I know of), which is always nice, but really? That's it? We need to get creative
