It was one of many buildings the citizens of iT chicago pointed to with pride. Many of the fancy details (such as those above the clock) were really carved out of wood. ‘In addition, the mansard Roof was made of tar and wood.’’ “137 De koven street-where it all it began.…
Honestly, I’ll come right out and admit that I have never been the Detroit Lion’s number one fan, or any football fan for that matter. Sure, I had technically gone to each of the homecoming games both years in high school, but only for the sole excuse of being able to put some red war paint on my face and attempt to catch up with some friends. The only exposure I had to the sport was walking through the doors of Phase Three during cross country season. Day after day, I was forced to push through groups of teenage guys reeking with a putrid stench of dried sweat, rotting eggs, and grass stains; the smell in itself was enough to make my eyes water.…
The city of Chicago was still. It was Game 7 of the World Series, and the Cleveland Indians were hosting the Chicago Cubs. 108 years of pain and sadness could be wiped away. Everyone was somewhere, ready to watch one of the biggest games of baseball to ever be played. I was at a watch party with a bunch of diehard Cub fans.…
It was a glorious day for Browns fans as they witnessed something that hasn’t occurred since 2007, a victory in Baltimore. It was a rare sighting, but Cleveland pulled off the stunning upset in an overtime thriller. At first, it didn’t look to good for the Browns. After three and outs from both teams, the Ravens struck first.…
I started playing baseball when I was 7 years old and at that time I was actually playing T-Ball. For awhile I played baseball for a place called Twin City. While I was at Twin City I had mostly played the second base position. Twin City was an alright organization because they didn't have players with the best attitudes. Those players with not so good attitudes affected our teams ability to win.…
I have deep passion for the Chicago Cubs baseball team. I have been taught to love them since I was a little boy. I have always loved them since I have known baseball. From wanting to be the Cubs on my little league team, to watching them with my father at night. From listening to the stories of my father and grandfather, to hearing the history, present, and future.…

A mixture of mud, blood, and dust coated our bodies; to my left and right, cannonballs flew at us. Though we knew not how or when we were going to succeed, we just knew that we had to succeed. Every hardship I had gone through had led to this moment, every hardship I went through had made me become this person. I am Lafayette, and if socialising, sailing the terrifying sea, and living in Valley Forge couldn't shake me, then no British army would.…
I grew up in a neighborhood where a tourist can capture awe-inspiring pictures through their phone's or camera's. Pictures that will bring out how rich this community is. Rich in culture, food, music, and art. Pilsen, The Heart of Chicago, is beautiful in and out. From the art located in almost every corner, to the kindest hearts that live in the people who live in Pilsen.…
Ah, Chicago, the Windy City, a famed metropolis known for its wholesome American values, deep-dish pizza, and its friendly, carefree, community. Nothing quite exemplifies the Founding Fathers’ vision of America like the Second City. Chicago is the only place where one can truly appreciate the equality and justice generations of Americans have fought to achieve. My journey began as many Chicagoans days do, to the hymn of police sirens and traffic.…
Pittsburgh is not my hometown of 2,587 people. Pitt is not my high school of 1,243 students. The Pitt Class of 2021 will certainly not be my high school graduating class of 323 students. Everything about Pitt is new for me, entirely out of my comfort zone, and that is how I know that Pitt is the right choice for me.…
Throughout my tour of the greater Chicago area, I saw countless of interesting things, from the people walking the streets to up to all the admirable buildings. While not knowing my way around the city I got lost multiple times which was very exasperating and time consuming, but my overall experience of walking the loop was somewhat tolerable. The two buildings that stood out me the most were the Willis Tower and the Kluczynski Federal Building. These two building stood out to me because of the overall structure of it, I thought both buildings were constructed beautifully. The Willis Tower is one of the tallest buildings in the world and also the tallest building in America.…
“We’re going to Las Vegas!” I heard my mom bellow from upstairs. “ What” I heard myself say, trying not to believe my ears. “We are going to Las Vegas” she repeated, “ Pack up, we’re leaving tomorrow morning!” I didn’t want to go to Las Vegas as it took 7 hours to get there, and back( maybe even 10).…
