Whoever made this underestimates the shore of a Great Lake, I see. Ohio and Michigan already have beaches.

In some parts of Michigan you don’t even have to drink out of the lake. You can just drink out of your sink and get sick

No salt and no sharks, and all the beachy goodness.

As someone who grew up on the Great Lakes who now lives on the Pacific, they are not comparable.

You can even turn into a human ice cube when you go in the water! (Love the great lakes)

Minnesota and Wisconsin too. And with the Eerie canal, they all have access to the ocean

If we’re just gonna start counting whether or not our waterways have access to the ocean, then pretty much every Midwestern state counts by way of the Mississippi’s drainage basin. 32 states have tributary rivers that find their way to the Mississippi, and then to the Gulf.

Incidentally, I love the detail in this map where the state of Mississippi no longer touches the Mississippi River, and the city of New Orleans is apparently divided across the states of Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, and Arkansas.

After this map, Ohio no longer has a Great Lake Beach.
They’ll just be left with a salty proboscis through Mary’s West Virginia.

The image says nothing about beaches, it’s just the title of the post.

Yeah, Chicago here. Fuck the ocean, give me back my lakeshore.

Edit: actually, if I’m still physically in Chicago, I guess it doesn’t matter overly much whether it’s Chicago, IL or Chicago, WI, though I think Illinois needs us more, from a political perspective.
