North avenue beach wasn’t always a beach, before its time it was a park on the northside area of Chicago. It wasn’t used for much, until around the 1950s they decided that lake Michigan could make a good beach front for the Chicago area. Now that North avenue is there the area is more populated and is thriving more than it ever has been.
