Hey @ChicagoParks, can you let your lifeguards know to PLEASE not force the dog beach people off the beach at 8 unless there’s something we don’t know…

City-sponsored lakefront fireworks will begin at 9:30 p.m. The city didn't reveal where the fireworks will be shot off, but said they'll be visible along the lakefront from Grand Avenue to at least 55th Street. buff.ly/2URNqZJ

This is how we found out about our true address. If you have to call 911 for any reason, these pole markers are up and down the lakefront, including up by us where it may not be evident what the exact or approximate address is. ❤️❤️
We encourage residents along the lakefront to be aware of Pole Markers, the green and white signs affixed to street light poles with number location identifiers to help identify a location. This signage aids in the response by emergency personnel to incidents. #ChicagoFireworks
No rush on a reply, but we’re hoping to welcome @ksobieski212 and East Leyden’s Key Club in the fall. ❤️❤️❤️ @A4GL we definitely missed working with them last year amidst everything.

Oops... guess we forgot about Twitter... Oh hey... we’re reopen! Don’t forget your masks. Social distant. Don’t congregate (please!!!)
The Chicago lakefront is reopening, along with playgrounds and indoor swimming programs as COVID-19 metrics continue to improve.​ abc7chicago.com/10363706/?ex…

Lakefront trail and 606 will remain open, so long as people "keep it moving," mayor says. Beaches will remain closed with no lifeguards." "Please don't be foolish...The lake is deep..It has riptides....We don't want you to be another drowning casualty."
Why do we have to say this? We weren’t the ones who ordered the beach closed in the first place.

Since there seems to be some confusion still, the reopening of the lakefront has NOT been announced...only for the walking, running and biking trail located adjacent to us, as well as the 606 (Bloomingdales) trail.

🚨REMINDER🚨 The Lakefront is CLOSED. Still, dozens of people on bike paths are unaware and being turned away. @ChicagoParks security continues to try and mitigate, but crowds are hard to control. @cbschicago

NOT THE BEACHES just the trails
Excited to share the news... our Lakefront Trail will be reopening on June 22 for exercise and transit! To ensure we continue the progress we've made flattening the curve, Social Distancing Ambassadors will be along the route to ensure a safe experience for Chicagoans.

While Mayor Lori Lightfoot didn’t give specific dates, she said various businesses will be able to open throughout the summer with strict social distancing, limited capacity and other precautions. Here is a rundown. bit.ly/2LNHl8W

Just as an FYI, the lakefront, which includes us, was NOT included in the latest plans for reopening. Do stay tuned though.
