Chicago's also just got a very different relationship with Lake Michigan because of the lack of other bodies of water around. What would the actual point be of a beach at the harbor?

Even if there was an ocean or other bodies of water near Chicago, I doubt most people would pass up the convenience of being able to just walk or ride a bike to a nearby beach.
But I agree the relationship to Lake Michigan is nothing like ours to the harbor, I just think that’s mostly because it’s a cleaner body of fresh water and much larger portion of the city has easier access to it compared to here.
