Boat storage along Lake Michigan and the Illinois River system is significant. Classic car culture is strong in the Chicago area. November-April winter storage is essential. Lake Michigan boat owners must haul out by October or risk ice damage. Chicago's limited garage space and expensive real estate make off-site vehicle storage a near-necessity for many urban vehicle owners.
