Environmentalists say a casino by the lake, or by the Chicago River is still a problem.
Chicago environmentalists had reason to celebrate when city officials announced the McCormick Place was out of the running as a potential casino site. They say the site could have been disastrous for wildlife and Chicago's crown jewel, the lakefront. But now some say they're worried about the remaining three options, two of which are located along the Chicago River.
