crosstina aquafina invites you to: come on feel the (8-down)

Constructor's Note
spoiler: 46-across is an incredibly unfair clue, but i couldn't help myself. for the uninitiated... in 1999 chicago was awarded a civil engineering 'monument of the millennium' award for the genius feat of flooding the mississippi river and, thusly, st. louis, with our sewage. st. louis filed an injuction against the city for doing so and it went all the way to the supreme court, where they ruled in chicago's favor. die mad, losers!

      46A was a great clue; I learned about that one from the podcast Sawbones, and it's also just an amazing fact

        Very tricky puzzle but lots of fun clueing and long entries. I also knew 46A from a podcast (I believe 99% Invisible) so I was excited to fill it in after just a couple crosses.
