... that the sculpture Chicago Rising from the Lake was meant to show Chicago's rebirth after the Great Chicago Fire but it went missing twice and was eventually found by a Chicago firefighter? Source: Hand carved flames represent the Great Chicago Fire....It was lost twice - The bronze sculpture was lost until a Chicago firefighter found it laying in a makeshift dump in 1997 and Nobody is sure how the sculpture got to the dump

New enough, long enough, eye-catching hook cited in line from reliable source, neutral tone, and no copyvio or close paraphrasing per Earwig. QPQ done. This is good to go. Topshelver (talk) 12:42, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

New image needed[edit]
