I don’t even think I articulated my point well here but because I mentioned the concrete beach, easy million plus views.

Dude hanging on to that booger like it’s paying rent

Should’ve posted the second take!

Aye!!!! 😂😂😂

We don’t need to be telling everybody…. Let everybody believe we only have concrete slabs!!

Oh damn I had no idea Chicago had something like this. Looks awesome

Chicago is hands down the best city in America.

Congrats on the beach being better than swimming in Boston Harbor

Boston Harbor is clean bruh. We spent a billion dollars on it lol

I’d be all for a concrete beach in Boston

And the esplanade has the same concept

Swimming in Boston

The Concrete Beach is fine, but let’s not get carried away.. Oak Street and Ohio Street are podium material, and Chicago has 20+ other beaches ready to make the case. Those beaches are hard for us to compete with up here in Nuuk. 😎🤩

That is pretty fucking cool. Elect a new mayor though.

It’s not a beach. That’s a fucking lake

We can chill about the concrete beach, but we are not chilling about that.

Not trying to get shot or robbed. fuck chicago, the pizza sucks too

when trying to convince me this is special, why did you just say "its smack dab in the middle of the city" twice as if this is supposed to help me understand the purpose of the concrete structure, especially considering its flanked by normal beach on both sides

Today in Chicago.

No sand is actually fire thats prob the worst part about the beach... Take it from someone born in Miami

just another day at the beach in chicago

But it’s in Chicago. 😂 The sphincter of our country

Boston Harbor beach water (especially the highly rated South Boston ones) is generally materially cleaner than the typical popular Chicago lakefront concrete beach water for bacterial swimming safety

Yeah you make a good point. TBH, the problem with Chicago is all the nīggers.

We’re essentially Dubrovnik of The states

It’s not a beach. It’s closer to a swimming pool environment. Like Barton Springs in Austin.

You just wasted 5 minutes of your life with this. Nobody is convincing anybody a concrete beach is cool man just give it up and enjoy to yourself

But they have no concrete jungles ... were the hell am I going to feel brand new and have bright lights inspire me?

I’m from nyc and he’s right 😭

Not all of Chicago’s beaches are concrete, who even goes to those sections?

Boston harbor is actually clean now, people swim there

I hate the concrete by the lake front. I’ve hated it since they installed it. They only did it to transfer money to union labor. They waste or steal about half of the tax money they collect. I for one don’t care what other people think of Chicago. This is still a free country.

"people dont get it, this is special because its right in the middle of the city and that makes it special because its smack dab, in the middle, woops just got slammed by water anyway this is right smack dab in the middle of the city, ya i know there's normal beach on both sides"

Living 90 miles up north from Chicago on the coastline knowing that our municipal water system often dumps millions of gallons of raw sewage into Lake Michigan—and that the current takes it south…

It’s a pool vibe on a lake if you have chairs.

Why not compare it to the other side of Lake Michigan 🧐

My father had to work out of Chicago for the most of my childhood and going from nyc to chi was always one of the better memories I have of my adolescence. Is it a perfect city ? No is it clean for the most part 7/10 times. But that lake that lake is gorgeous. Also Italian beef and deep dish rules idc what anyone says.

This is 100% not a beach , not classified as a beach … Why do Chicago natives stay dumb ? There only one place with real beaches in the 50 states … it’s called Florida !

Ben to chicago one time and a lil nigga on a bike tried to scream slurs at me while riding away on a bike had to nail the lil nigga with a 7/11 big gulp
