The Y is the municipal device of the City of Chicago. It appears all over the city, mostly on public structures, but often on private property. It represents Wolf Point, where the Chicago River divides into it's North and South branches, just west of the Loop and Magnificent Mile. Look up, they're everywhere! If you see one, please take a picture and add it to the group!

This is great. I'm a Chicago History buff, but I've learned something today. And "Wolf Point," what a cool name.
