Some interesting info about

Goose Island...

Goose Island is a 160-acre artificial island in Chicago, between the North Branch of the Chicago River and the North Branch Canal. It's about 1+1⁄2 miles long and 1⁄2 mile across. The name referred to a small natural island the junction of the North and South Branches of the Chicago River that was home to seasonal flocks of birds which was dredged away by 1865.

Peoples Gas, Light & Coke Co. purchased land at the east of the island for industrial plants in the late 19th century. The area was nicknamed "Little Hell" because of all the smoke produced by the plants. By 1887 there were two grain elevators, eleven coal yards, and a railroad.

Recently, Goose Island has been a site of redevelopment of former industrial locations to residential and mixed-use towers and high rises. Warehouses have been converted into modern manufacturing and creative loft-office and residential spaces. Newer towers on the island, including the Wrigley's R&D facility and the former Sara Lee Corporation headquarters, which is now Kendall College. Recent attempts at marketing redevelopment of Goose Island include Goose Island 2.0, Silicon Island, and Innovation Island. Amazon, Inc. has a warehouse on the island providing a local distribution hub for "Prime Now" a one- and two-hour deliveries to residents around the city.
