Chicago’s infamous Lake Michigan party spot the “Playpen” will not be opening this summer, Mayor Lori Lightfoot said.
At a news conference announcing the city’s likely move into phase 3 of its reopening plan early next month, Lightfoot said the lakefront eventually will reopen but wouldn’t give a date. She also laid out specific industries that will be allowed to open next month, including outdoor dining at restaurants and barbershops.
But she cast doubt on a big party spot.
“Sorry folks the Playpen will not be open this summer,” Lightfoot said.
