but this: https://www.google.com/maps/@41.9027...7i10240!8i5120

is gross and unimpressive.



you have very strange opinions.

But I saw Oak St Beach almost on a daily basis with driving up and down Lakeshore Drive. But I drove up Sheridan one early Sunday morning (as everyone I know kept telling me to take Sheridan as far north as you want since it basically goes to Milwaukee). That drive alone is beautiful as you pass by the Bahai Temple, and gnarly looking Northwestern University (love the Gothic architecture). Rosewood isn't big but it's location on a beach next to a bluff that was carved from glaciers during the Ice Age is pretty cool since Illinois is flat. The fact that I got there at around 9 in the morning and no one was on the beach aside from a few people doing yoga and walking around was a TOTAL contrast to the constant noise of Chicago. I recommend it to anyone.
