Title: Grand-Pier construction site Description: Views of the Grand-Pier construction site near 201 East Grand Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, after it was shut down due to the detection of radioactive thorium. The site must undergo environmental remediation before construction continues. The thorium is likely leftover from the demolition of the Lindsay Light Company building in 1936.
