"There are two pips in a beaut, four beauts in a lulu,
Eight lulus in a doozy, and sixteen doozies in a humdinger.
No one knows how many humdingers
there are in a lollapalooza."

Now, doesn’t that shot look picturesque ?
Seriously, I never had any problem the many times I stopped up there. I even talked to some right friendly people out there on the pier….If I hadn’t had to keep returning there to get what I considered a good shot, I wouldn’t be able to tell you this…..But seriously….I never felt threatened there.

That place has gotten better.....First time I went, (2000), there were gangs I spotted in the area.....
When they re-did that park, it looked great....But subquent visits it started looking a little run down again, with lots of litter.....

That Cub Scout replica looks really good !
I would hope the Waukegan Light will be excessed at some future point, and a group would pick it up, maybe restore the Lantern / Cuppola. That would, perhaps, make it more of a draw than it is now.
What made it a premier stop for me is the history and tragedy associated with this light, the once-proud Fog Signal building attached to it that was destroyed in the 1967 fire, and the disappearance of the Lantern Room and Catwalk.
As I view this light, I can’t help but to remember what once was.
