Person 1: You're biased! You're a homer! My sister is the one true authority on City X, and would never be misinformed or exaggerate a threat!
Here's an article from a month ago about 4 out of 6 beaches in Evanston having to close because of unsafe levels of e-coli in the water, but go off.

"Four of the six beaches–from Lee Street on the south to Lincoln Street at Northwestern–are closed due to high e. coli levels in the water. Those levels likely rose because of heavy downpours on Thursday that washed the bacteria from shore."
