it's a mish mash of a road. some stop lights, some freeway, some idiot drivers.

Not that the city doesn't look awesome in that photo... It's just too bad the city planners didn't make the entire waterfront beach/parkland/seawall (yes i know it is not the sea).

alot of it's not really beachy... still a shit ton of beachs/places along the water to visit.

Yeah, pretty much the entire lakefront is parkland of one kind or another.

I could be completely wrong (it's happened before) but I believe LSD came about because rich folks back in the day used to drive along the lakeshore for fancy weekends in their auto-carriage mobiles, and traffic just sort of grew from there.

And the picture is kind of misleading ... along the entire drive is a bike/running path and several beaches. I'm kind of proud of the fact that, by and large, most of the beachfront property in Chicago is public and not private.

I was just going off of that one photo, where it nuzt looks like road. Just looks a lot different than the downtown waterfront i'm used to, that's all. That huge wall of buildings all along the edge of the water looks crazy! As in cool - but it looks strange tome too. So much different than west coast cities with waterfront.
