Northerly Island is a great place to visit if you have the time. It has some nice trails and a decent beach. Above all, Northerly Island is my favorite place to see a concert in Chicago. You get to be outside and see the Chicago skyline as a backdrop to the stage.

Blue Island’s commercial core resonates with some 150 years of history. Along Western Avenue, and its old section on the south side of the Cal-Sag Channel, there’s an inviting array of locally owned businesses.
