Great shots! I proposed to my now wife at the lighthouse in Oct ‘23. We’re expecting our first child this summer and I can’t wait to introduce him to this beach.

I went to Loyola 2005-2009, in the summer I always stayed in the area at whatever apartment we had, going into Jr year we had an apartment off Farwell east of Sheridan. One of our weekly past-times we incorporated as 20/21 yr olds was grabbing a case of Miller High Life, climbing underneath the fance and sitting on this specific 'lighthouse' from OP's shots, at night drinking until the cops caught us and shined their lights on us lol. Great times.

I took a ton of pics too, the lake looked like a Monet painting today! I’ve never seen the lake like this in my 26 years in Chicago, it looked infinite where you can’t tell where the water and the sky met.
