Evanston Case Study

Roseland and Englewood are both known neighborhoods for Some of the same reasons. They both have high crime rates, They both have great restaurants, and They are pretty accessible for everyday needs.

During my return trip to downtown Tucson I visited my favorite place and the one which I felt held the most power. The Cadence apartment gives anyone who enters it the feel of a five-star hotel. The apartments gave the ambience of upper class with its constant cleaning crew working to keep it in prestige condition and multiple amenities only the nicest and most powerful of places would possess. When entering, you are welcomed to a long all white hallway with multiple fireplaces and flat screen televisions. The all white building gives the impression of a sleek and clean upper class building. After continuing down the hall, you are greeted by a fully equipped gym and a large pool and hot tub. Overall, with grand sweeping hallways, five star amenities, and classy atmosphere, The Cadence possesses much of the attributions that lead a building to be architecturally powerful.

I chose the city of Kankakee, Illinois not only because I was born and raised here, but because I believe that there is so much potential for change here. Kankakee is a 100% urban city in Illinois and is located 45 minutes from the south side of Chicago. Kankakee has been known to some as a very southern suburb, but it is not. Kankakee is a part of a tri-city area and is not included in the southern suburbs of Chicago. I heard a recording of Jay Leno saying that Kankakee is one of the worst places to live years ago and that lit the fire in me to return and see great things happen here. Kankakee is often talked about in a negative way from the residents and those who visit the area, but I see the potential of this city in its people.

Uptown, Oklahoma City and its surrounding districts are becoming a very popular place to live but the city infrastructure is not keeping up with the constant increase in population. Uptown, Oklahoma City has varying cultural populations as well as

I used to live in a neighborhood called Sumter Landing. Sumter Landing is a perfect example of Evans, Georgia, where I live. The neighborhood is located back in the woods with a beautiful entrance. All the houses are similar, with big yards and either brick, stone, or wood paneling on the outside. The neighborhood has a pool, park, and trails in the woods which lead to the Augusta Canal. The neighbors are all friendly and have genuine southern hospitality. There are cookouts and bonfires almost every weekend in the summer and dinner parties in the winter.

It is a clean and stylish residential area ideal for families, with an ongoing economic growth and a friendly neighborhood vibe. It has excellent sporting facilities, two golf courses, bowling clubs, playing fields, a skate park, boutique

For those interested in living in a suburb of this great city, there are many to choose from. Each neighborhood has its own amenities and benefits to offer residents. Some of the best ones to consider are Greenway Fields, Stanford Gardens, Sunset Hill and Arnour Fields. Residents of these areas are treated to a high quality of life and an enjoyable atmosphere.

The North Judson Erie Trail is a relaxing and peaceful place for bike riders or for anyone that simply wants to have a walk. People

Cobblestone Estates is near Westbrook Park, which includes a few other activities alongside community trails that allows walking, running, or bicycling. These Estates are less than three miles from the closest school district. Also, within that three-mile radius there are several restaurants, parks, and businesses. Since I observed two families spending time together outside, I suspect that block parties and neighborhood parties, bonfires, or cookouts take place! Similarly, Winding Brooks trailer park is about four miles from the same activities and the Central DeWitt School District. Not everyone would like to live in community where everything is within a couple miles. Others enjoy the journey to their location, but the residents in each of these neighborhoods prefer things to be within a couple miles because it is comprised with their personal identity. Personal identity allows changes in life as you go on, this includes the choice of where one may

Heading 13 Miles Southeast of the Chicago South loop, passing many open fields filled with petcoke and what was once was Steel Mills, you reach what is known to the residents as “Alphabet town” or East side. East side is known as a working class neighborhood to the individuals who do not reside there. For the residents that do, they know the east side as a community filled with pride, respect, and a feeling of unity. As you enter the neighborhood just heading east on 106th street right off of Torrance Ave, you can feel the presence of this neighborhood with the predominantly hispanic culture. You can enter the community either by car or taking a bus, but not access via trains. If you are planning to take a trip from downtown, Chicago, prepare

There are so many welcoming things that Illinois has to offer. One example is an event that takes place here in the Quad Cities. This event is open to everyone from from the whole nation. “This city attracts regional and national visitors because of its strong ties to john Deere and Deere and Company”(quad city CVB 1). John Deere is a big known company known around the nation. It brings the John Deere Classic, which is a golf tournament. Again, it is very inviting and it provides so much fun for visitors and its people. Even more, Illinois has many pro teams such as, the Chicago Bulls and the white Sox. Every sport there is to think of, Illinois has a stadium dedicated to it. these teams are adored around the nation and theres no better place for sports than

The neighborhood that I have picked for the fieldwork project is Uptown. It is north of Chicago; 6 miles away from the Loop, according to Encyclopedia of Chicago. Based on the map, Uptown’s boundaries are Foster Avenue (north), Lake Michigan (east), Montrose and Irving Park (south), and Ravenswood and Clark (west). The cross streets for the south side of Uptown are from Ravenswood to Clark, then Clark St. to Lake Michigan; from the west side, Foster to Montrose, then Montrose to Irving Park. North of Uptown is Edgewater, to the west of it is Lincoln Square, then to the south is Lake View (City of Chicago). As of 2010, Uptown’s total population is 56,362 (2010 United States Census).

It’s also a great place to live, work, and raise a family. From museums to monuments, from sprawling parks to urban trails, there is no shortage of great things to do in Indianapolis.

With a plethora of city parks, schools, small businesses, Downtown Square, and peaceful residencies, this town of nearly 11,500

Since Chicago is one of the largest segregated cities in the country, why don't people move to make it more diverse? A national survey that was taken said that blacks agreed that “black people have a right to live wherever they can afford to”. Over 70 percent of blacks support laws that enforce that right, but only 40 percent of whites said that they would support those laws. Blacks support integration, but because the two races disagree on whether or not blacks should be able to live where they want to, the city will stay segregated instead of solving the problem of making the city more diverse.Over 87 percent of blacks are fine with living in a neighborhood that was only 20 percent black. This proves that blacks are more open to making Chicago an area that is not segregated. If where you live also affects your education and limits your job opportunities, then it's understandable why blacks are ready to move. Blacks typically live in more run down areas that usually provides a bad school system and because they don't have a good education, they don't have access to good jobs. Access to housing is harder for black people because white people disagree with the values that they
