Okay no Chicago is not a coastal city. When I moved up to the Midwest (currently in iowa) and I heard someone say “let’s go to the beach” and they meant TO A LAKE I about died. The beach is Galveston, corpus Christi, Miami, etc. Beaches are where the land touches THE OCEAN. not a lake!! I will die on this hill!!!! Midwesterners just want to pretend like their states aren’t boring as fuck. Be happy with your great lakes and stop calling them beaches! They’re lake shores!
If you say beach and you mean to include lake shores then you’re admitting your state is boring and also you’re wrong bc nobody thinks “beach” and by *default* includes lake superior or wtv
You wish your beaches had this kind of view
Girl, the only Beach National Park is along Lake Michigan, Her Name? Indiana DUNES National Park and she is in the Chicagoland area!
not the point at all but portland is not a coastal city at all
Yeah but Portlanders are considered Coastal Elites so it’s a Coastal City in Spirit
