So many people wish they could have access to a beach like North Avenue. Yeah, parking can be horrible if your looking to park right on the beach itself. What's the matter? Afraid of a little walk? Ever hear of public transportation? Someone dropping you off and picking you up? Parking away from the beach and walking offers you a view of a neighnorhood and community many could only wish to live in. As for those who complain about the life guards. Not everyone is an expert, confident swimmer. And those who are, are not beyond encountering danger in the water. Hundreds and hundreds of people visit North Avenue Beach on any given beautiful day. The life guards do not have eyes in back of their heads. What will it take for you to appreciate what they do? A tragedy? We are contained so they can do their job to the fullest. So give them a break. Bring your own food or enjoy some great food at the boathouse. Bring your chair or rent one. Ride in on your bike or rent one. Just go there with the anticipation of an enjoyable day. You are sure to have one and will come back time and time again. I am a life long resident of chicago and have seen North Avenue beach change many times over. Right now it has reached it's apex. It definitly has something for everyone. If you can't enjoy yourself there then I don't know what you are looking for. Dee mazur
