Summertime in Rogers Park #Loyolalife #BestCoast #Unsalted

I love summer in Rogers Park! Campus is quieter and relaxed but still active.  The neighborhood is full of street-end beaches like a seaside resort town.  And there are a few local cafes that take full advantage!

The Waterfront Cafe offers seaside views, a menu including Lobster and Crab Rolls, and Fish Tacos, a bar menu, nighttime ambiance and live music:

The beach at Albion offers free natural air-conditioning while reading, studying or taking in the views:

A hike down Pratt pier feels like a beachside trek in the Caribbean, until you see the best skyline in the world and then you know you're in Chicago:
