They never mentioned if anyone showed up and stripped off, and if there were complaints, or if someone just had to call the parks service to see if it was true.

Best to specify lest someone chooses to interpret that as an invitation to shirtcocking.

Used to live a block away. It’s a great neighborhood – Rogers Park – but the fact that it has a lot of recent immigrants (as well as Loyola University students) means someone from a country where such things are normal might have believed the sign. Yikes!

Make it an actual nude beach, you cowards. Williston’s dream has clearly languished too long - time to make it a reality.

There are a lot of places in this country where such things are normal… if I saw it as a visitor to Chicago I might have been fooled, though I’d probably be too timid to strip down if I didn’t see any other nudists in the area.

One of my partners lives a few blocks away from there near Ashland and Morse. We had a lovely beach afternoon there at the end of June. It wasn’t a nude beach at the time, though.
(I’m objecting to the “No” part of the sign, but I notice it was covered up and no one way paying it the least bit of attention anyway!)

Every beach is nude, unless you cover the sand.

Shame. You have an official nude beach, you don’t have to worry about unofficial wallet inspectors.

I guess the US is a bit too prudish to actually have public nude beaches.
