Amy’s Candy Bar Our first adventure...was a sweet time!

This was a cute little candy shop. It was very compact, just like all the other stores around there. Their signature treat was the sea salt caramels, which tasted great! We all enjoyed a little candy from there.

Home Sweet HomeHouses looked half modern, half

old

Looked like they were just built

Part brick, part wood.

They looked really nice

Only a few looked like thisrest was wooden panelled houses.

Street Art is Neat Art !Walking along the streets of Lincoln Square, we saw many buildings that were covered with murals and different paintings. These were created by artists so the public could enjoy them as they travelled around Lincoln Square.

Our Next Adventure is… Out of This World!!! 🚀

Just Because…...

Group ReflectionIt felt like an authentic Chicago experience, because it was like a mini city.

The suburbs are nothing like this area. Everything is a lot more small and compact, so it felt like we were really in Chicago; the way people outside of Chicago think it really looks like.

It was a very nice little neighborhood, walking through it and seeing the smalls shops just gave me a warm feeling and made me think of how glad I am to be so close to so many nice areas.

I enjoyed this experience. When I thought of Chicago, I always thought of tall buildings and busy streets. But being in this neighbourhood where there were many houses and small shops gave me a new perspective on how diverse Chicago really is.

I really enjoyed going here. I loved how many small shops there were and the sense of a small town it gave me. It had

very beautiful houses and there weren’t a lot of people out and about.
