I love your city and it’s one I’ve contemplated relocating to many a time both for the culture and the nature. But damn, mountains or lakes? Much love, much respect.
I like 70’s and absolutely hate it when the weather decides to skip right over them.
Ahhh…makin’ me homesick.
I’ve only had one short visit for a weekend of the Blues Fest. Certainly enjoyed the fraction of what we experienced.
Having never visited … I’m still blown away by this being a lake (that is fresh water right?)
Yeah Lake Michigan is all fresh water, but still needs purification and filtration to drink it which takes significantly less energy than desalination if it was salt. And yes, it’s as far as the eye can see, Chicago is never really at risk of running out of water geographically speaking, we haven’t gotten anywhere near using enough water to be concerned.
corpoamerica: “Hold my beer!”
Not even the biggest one of the Great Lakes.
They all look pretty big to me on a map.
