The Birth of Lake Evanston

When we found our house in Evanston, we never knew it would be near lakefront property. Over the last several months, they have been building up here at a feverish pace. One day I looked over in the new area pictured below a few blocks from the house. There was a pretty nice sized piece of greenspace that seemed to have suddenly sprang up out of nowhere. Over the last couple of weeks it has just as suddenly went from greenspace to Lake Evanston. It really does look like a lake, doesn't it? Or maybe it is supposed to be a lake? Hmmmmmm.....
