My group and myself decided to explore Chicago's historic Wrigleyville for a school project. This iconic neighborhood boasted several landmarks as well as numerous popular restaurants to try. Its location on the north side of Chicago made it ideal for us to travel too. We were able to discern a sense of the culture in this neighborhood as well as meet several friendly people more then willing to help us capture our pictures.

The story of Camden and the Great War is very complex. It is not black and white and has many shades of grey. Each layer means different things to different people.
