miller beach is definitely not urban.

it's "walkable" in the sense that some streets have sidewalks and you can walk your dog around the neighborhood, but other than the beach/lakefront itself, there's not a whole lot to actually walk to - a pizza place, a cafe, a mini mart, that's about it.

i was just pointing out that gary's beaches & dunes are even nicer than waukegan's, IMO.
