The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers sometimes opens the locks to help with flood management during extreme weather. They did exactly that early Thursday morning when the Chicago River was three feet above the level of the lake, which means the river has reversed its course for the day and is flowing back into Lake Michigan. As of Thursday afternoon the river level was still two feet above the lake.

The decision to release water through the Chicago locks is made jointly with the MWRD and the USACE, and they closely monitor water quality. But there's also the issue of big chunks of trash and debris from runoff getting into the river (and now the lake).

Also includes a walk down 53rd street and a tour of the university's arts incubator lab in Washington Park.

Ahead of R. Kelly headlining Pitchfork Music Festival, WBEZ's Jim DeRogatis conducts a series of conversations with smart, passionate cultural critics.

http://www.wbez.org/kellyconvo

Does R. Kelly's music mean something different to younger music critics and self-proclaimed "pop omnivores?" How do they balance discussion of his art and his actions? And why do they think the Pitchfork audience has embraced this musician?

Simon Vozick-Levinson is an associate editor at Rolling Stone whose work also has appeared in Entertainment Weekly and The Boston Phoenix. In March, he participated in a panel discussion at South by Southwest on the state of pop fandom entitled "Guiltless Pleasures: Imagining a Post-Snob World."

David Greenwald led that panel. He is a contributing editor for Billboard.com who also has been published in The Atlantic, GQ, and The Los Angeles Times, and he is the founder of the new music magazine UNCOOL.

Ahead of R. Kelly headlining Pitchfork Music Festival, WBEZ's Jim DeRogatis conducts a series of conversations with smart, passionate cultural critics.

http://www.wbez.org/kellyconvo

How does the true fan of R. Kelly's music balance the pleasure that music provides with the unpleasant knowledge of the acts he's been accused of? Should the private actions of an artist ever impact the appreciation of the art? And what is the responsibility of the fan who supports and artist whose misdeeds are hurting others?

Jenny Benevento is a librarian, a blogger, a cultural commentator, and co-host of the pop-culture podcast "Jenny & Paul Sell Out." Last October, she participated in an evening entitled "R. Kelly 101: Trapped in the Closet—What, How, Why?" sponsored by Homeroom at the Hungry Brain.

Jake Austen, who also sat on that panel, went to high school with Kelly at Kenwood Academy. He is the publisher of Roctober, the force behind the public access television show Chic-A-Go-Go, the singer in the Goblins, and the author of several books, including Flying Saucers Rock 'n' Roll: Conversations with Unjustly Obscure Rock 'n' Soul Eccentrics (Refiguring American Music) (Duke University Press) and Darkest America: Black Minstrelsy from Slavery to Hip-Hop (W.W. Norton).
