Chicago's Lakefront

It's been called "Chicago's front yard" and the jewel in our crown. It's Chicago's lakefront and it stretches for 29 miles. Follow Geoffrey Baer, host of WTTW's acclaimed architectural shows, as he follows the coast of Lake Michigan from the Indiana Dunes to Chicago's north suburbs. Along the way he'll share the stories of scoundrels who scarred the landscape for personal gain, and heroes who fought selfless battles to win back the lakefront for the public-making our waterfront city unique in the world.
