These pictures are from Saturday, October 19th. To the left we see what appears to be a defunct boat ramp. To the right the stairs lead down to what once was a dock. Today the stairs lead to an abrupt four foot drop off to the beach.
The water fountain at Rogers Avenue beach was still running last weekend. A pint sized fountain forces anyone above four feet to bend down for a drink. What other Lake Michigan beach can you hear the water lapping against the remnants of an old pier and an old leaky water fountain?

Funny that beaches get Yelp reviews. People complain about everything, like "overzealous" lifeguards. One of the reviewers noticed that dog people don't like the no dog beach rule. He posted a picture of the no dogs on beach rule crossed out on the list. There is a currently sign posted stating no dogs are allowed on the beach.
Chicago Now featured a review of the beaches of Rogers Park. It was pointed out that Rogers Avenue beach had an "ampitheatre" feel to it and is a great place for yoga and tennis. The Chicago Now review is a reprint of an article first published in 2012.
