I was born and raised in Chicago wicker Park was the part that we always play baseball everything that any sport that we can play throughout the week that's what we did and we can park was a quiet decent neighborhood cuz we try to make it that way but it didn't but today's date is the most beautiful Park in the middle of the getto people today is the most beautiful neighborhood I could not believe the change which is a good change I'm for a great change but if you want to go to Chicago on time go to work humble Park is still the same which is only like maybe six blocks from me and that's why I grew up everything on the corner I'm division.
