As a native of Chicago but a cuurent resident of Massachusetts, I meet eligibility under a loophole-- which I refuse to exploit by piping up with the answer.

Yo, I'm from the St Louis area and even I knew about L.S.D. although I never saw it until I was 18 (and that was in the early 60s). I won't blow the gaff either.

Here are some versions of the song, with appropriate views of Chicago. My downstate grandfather loathed Chicago politicians, and like him, I avoided Chicago.This was the first time I had been exposed to the song, since I have always lived in states with oceanfront property.

One of the interesting things about Chicago is that there are no private beaches -- the entire shoreline is a public park. However, if you look at where East 72nd place meets the water, you'll find two houses with the next best thing -- a little beach that can only be reached through their backyards. There's a golf course to the north, and a rocky breakwater to the south. Went to a party there years ago. Only two beachfront houses in Chicago. Very cool.
