I have a photobook of Chicago that has a picture of north avenue beach in the 1960s with thousands of people on it. I think a city's relationship with its waterfront has to do with what was built on land next to the water. In Toronto the lakefront was industrial until recently. In Chicago the industry was clustered along the river and the lakefront has consisted of parks and beaches for a century.
