7. 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.

8. Home Sweet Home
Houses looked half modern, half old
Looked like they were just built
Part brick, part wood.
They looked really nice
Only a few looked like this
rest was wooden panelled houses.

9. 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.

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
