WHY DID CHICAGO BEACHES CLOSE.

Did the beaches in Chicago close because it was too hot? Did Chicago beaches close because of gang activity. Well as a person who grew up in Chicago and is 70 years old I can never remember the beaches closing because it was hot. That's why there is a big lake there, jump in and cool off. The acting police chief got on the news and gave this ridiculous reason and said it was not because of gangs. Ask the people who were there. This was only the first weekend that the beaches were open. Poor excuse. The way the neighborhoods have changed in that area I firmly believe that it is a gang situation and Chicago better do something about it, if they can.
