Park Danforth Case Study

From Chicago’s 77 neighborhood areas, North Lawndale occupies 3rd for violent crime reports, in the past 30 days, being robbery the most frequent one, it ranks 20th for property crime, with thefts as the most common offense, and 4th for quality of life, with criminal damage being the highest one. As big plants and other factories moved out of the neighborhood, several liquor stores replaced the empty spaces and crime became the norm.

“Not in my back yard” (NIMBY) has reached a point in some communities where it’s difficult to put community facilities anywhere. Some cities are responding by encouraging nursing home construction in specific residential areas based upon density bonuses. Density bonuses are granted for projects in which the developer agrees to include a certain number of affordable housing units. For every one unit of affordable housing a developer agrees to build, there’s a greater number of market rate units. Density bonuses vary from project to project.

On October 4th 2016 Deputy Akins was dispatched to 8821 Centennial Road for an accident involving a red truck that left the roadway and struck a parked vehicle. Upon arrival Deputy Akins saw a 2013 Red Dodge 1500 in the ditch with the truck’s front end smashed into the rear end of a 1001 Honda Civic. In the driver seat of the dodge truck was a male Caucasian. Deputy Akins recognized the male as Evan Case. Deputy Akins asked Mr. Case if he was injured.

Transportation is an important aspect in the senior’s population when it comes to getting around to places like their doctor appointment or their daily morning program. Many older adults that do not have a family member to take them around depend on the public transportation such as buses, train, and taxi. In Boston, The MBTA provide a special program called The Ride that provided transportation to the elderly with a low cost. There are also other senior insurance companies that also provide their transportation through other transportation company. More than 20% of American at age 65 years old and older do not drive according to the federal government’s National Household Travel Survey (Abrahms, 2013) and in America, there about 8.4 million

Throughout the Edgewater and Rogers Park community, my focus was on the physical health and well being of the members of the community. The assets identified were doctor’s offices, small clinics and clinics that are a part of a larger chain. Each of these assets show the diversity in the medical care offered in the Edgewater and Rogers Park community. For example, the assets that we found were mostly privately owned and the clinics that are part of a larger chain such as the clinics in Walgreens or CVS, were small and run by only a few people. There weren’t any assets that were part of a large medical institution such as Advocate or Nova health. There was only one hospital which is Methodist Hospital which is one of the largest assets we found. This illustrates how in the Edgewater and Rogers Park community, smaller and more convenient methods of receiving healthcare is emphasized more than larger scale hospitals.

On October 31st I visited Queen's Park Care Centre for my shadow day. Queen's Park is a residential care facility operated by Fraser Health which means the centre is publicly funded. The patients age range from 51-102 years old. It is rare to see anyone 60 years or younger at the care centre as majority of the patients are 65+. Many patients at Queen's Park have knee/hip replacements due to a fall. Occasionally, they do have amputees and stroke patients.

Woodlawn and Washington Park lack commercial vitality likely due to the low and declining residential density and the lack of disposable income needed to support retail development. Businesses in Woodlawn and Washington Park largely cluster along the neighborhoods’ commercial corridor with prime access to the CTA’s Green line Stations and are characterized by low sales volume and not much diversity. With large concentrations of vacant land and a lack of neighborhood amenities both neighborhoods will have an uphill struggle to start growing the residential base if done in isolation from UChicago and other non-profit and public partners.

Danville, PA is a wonderful place to live as it is a small town and it has several large employers to supply good jobs, however, more small businesses are needed in the downtown and surrounding area. Danville has a history of coal and iron manufacturing but following the peak of that, it had lost several businesses and the downtown became not as busy as it was. Unfortunately, this has remained so and Danville is in need of revitalization.

For many, abandoned buildings hold keys to the past. They are places frozen in time- authentic, eerie, and intriguing all in the same. Photographer and mixed media artist Samuel Quinn is one willing to break laws and trespass property in order to explore and capture these deserted wonders. In 2008, while in the South Shore driving his friend home, Quinn passed an eye-catching abandoned white house that stood lifeless in between two simple suburban homes. Two years later, in need of a new project, he traveled back to the house and began taking photographs for his portfolio A Houses Echo, which, as he describes, holds “portraits of a family who once lived in a house. A house

The St. Lawrence boulevard is one of the most known and talked about road in Canada. In the collective imagination, it has long been the street that separates Montreal in half. Which is quite understandable as the St. Lawrence boulevard is the backbone of the great French-speaking city. A city born from its river, founded downstream of the mighty Lachine rapids, which form a natural barrier for ocean-going ships, Montreal turns its back on its majestic stream. But it is as if to throw oneself into an otherwise tumultuous torrent which, from the wharves of the St. Lawrence to those of the Rivière des Prairies, rolls its course from one side to the other of the island of Montreal. St. Lawrence boulevard is the matrix of

Incidents such as the May 2000 contamination at Walkerton, Ontario, which resulted in widespread illness and loss of life, have raised public awareness of the risks of poor water quality.

Carl arrived with his vehicle. The trio entered the ambulance and sat on the padded benches. Carl dropped the three off at a seven-eleven. After J.T and Digger bought their snacks, they had five minutes before class started at Alexandar Holmes Middles School. When Brady went to take a drink, he only saw J.T; there was no sign of Digger. In class, Brady looked out the window- at the seven-eleven. He saw a firetruck and a yellow blip. All of a sudden, Brady thought of the DiAngelos- about Ben. Brady promised Ben that he would bring his LEGO aquanauts. Approximately a minute later, Brady Parks was called to the office. His father broke the news to Brady about someone missing at the river. However, it wasn't Marcellus DiAngelo but instead was his
