7. Reflections
★ Alice
★ Arianna I really enjoyed travelling to Little Italy! I had no idea that it was so
close to our campus, and it was a really beautiful place to go and walk
around on a nice day. I would like to go back to try some restaurants and
visit the shrine of Our Lady of Pompeii.
★ Fariha The most interesting part of this project was actually the trip to and
from Little Italy. I felt like taking the CTA and walking to Little Italy really
helped to see a different side of Chicago. It is a beautiful and peaceful
area. I would definitely go back!
★ Kaylee Visiting Little Italy was really fun and adventurous. I loved the long
train ride and vibes the neighborhood gave off. I look forward to heading
back there later on in the year to try some local restaurants.
★ Simon
