Going to Chicago | Sisters Navy Recruit Graduation April 13,2018 {Day 1 Vlog}
On February 13, 2018 my little sister left for Great Lakes, Illinois to attend boot camp. While I was very sad I was happy for her as well. I counted down the days until her Navy Recruit Graduation on April 13 2018 . While it seemed like forever, that wonderful day finally came. I just knew that I had to vlog this memorable moment and while I am a bit rusty that is what I did, well attempted to do. I hope you enjoy this little mini series, drop it a like if you do and share. Thanks for watching.

Low Wage Workers Stage Rally in Chicago to Demand Higher Wages
Thousands of low-income workers and their supporters took to the streets of the U.S. city of Chicago on Wednesday as part of a nationwide rally, fighting for a 15-U.S. dollar minimum wage.
School employees, students and workers from Walmart and fast food restaurants gathered at the campus of the University of Illinois at Chicago for an afternoon rally as part of the Fight for 15 campaign. They particularly demanded that measures be taken for equal pay between different races.
The cost of living in the United States is very high, alright. Our rents have increased; our mortages have increased; our energy costs have increased. But our wages have not increased, said Elce Redmond, a protester.
In large cities like Chicago, African and Hispanic Americans are earning less than white workers even they do the same jobs.
It is getting worse, not better. African Amercians have almost no wealth. Their level of home ownership is at a historical low. Their unemployment rates are almost 25 percent, real unemployment rates. They are struggling and they are falling behind economically, said Joe Losbaker, another protester.
The protesters later marched and gathered at a McDonald's restaurant in Chicago's central business district - the Loop.
According to reports, protests were held in more than 200 cities. More on:

Places to see in ( Chicago - USA ) Andersonville
Places to see in ( Chicago - USA ) Andersonville
Andersonville is a neighborhood in western Edgewater / Uptown. Once a sleepy little village made up primarily of Swedish immigrants, the community is particularly known for its diversity, including a continued Swedish cultural presence led by the Swedish American Museum and other Swedish businesses. Swedish businesses include the bar Simon's Tavern, a former basement speakeasy, which serves the Swedish wine drink as glögg, and Svea restaurants. At one time there were more Swedes in Chicago than any city outside of Stockholm. Many of Andersonville's Swedes were carpenters, contractors and architects, and played a significant role in building the city.
A significant number of Middle-Eastern businesses and new influx of families with children all make this a very diverse population. Andersonville is also known for its unique commercial district, made up almost entirely of a variety of independent locally owned specialty shops, restaurants, and service providers. Andersonville does, however, have a growing number of nationally known chains including a Starbucks Coffee, McDonald's, Hair Cuttery, The UPS Store, a Subway sandwich shop and a recently opened Potbelly Sandwich Shop.
The approximate street boundaries of Andersonville, as defined by the Andersonville Chamber of Commerce, are Lawrence (4700 N) to the south, Victoria (5800 N) to the north, Ravenswood (1800 W) to the west, and Magnolia (1250 W) to the east. The heart of Andersonville’s commercial district is Clark and Berwyn (5300 N). The heart of the Andersonville commercial district is the corner of Clark St. & Berwyn Ave. (5300 N. Clark Street).
Andersonville's roots as a community extend well back into the 19th century, when immigrant Swedish farmers started moving north into what was then a distant suburb of Chicago. In the 1850s the area north of Foster and east of Clark was a large cherry orchard, and families had only begun to move into the fringes of what is now Andersonville. The neighborhood's first school, the Andersonville School, was built in 1854 at the corner of those two thoroughfares, and served as the area's primary school until 1908.
After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, wooden homes were outlawed in Chicago. Swedish immigrants, who could not afford to build homes of stone or brick, began to move outside of the city's northern limits. Swedish immigrants continued to arrive in Andersonville through the beginning of the 20th century, settling in the newly built homes surrounding Clark St. Before long, the entire commercial strip was dominated by Swedish businesses, from delis to hardware stores, shoe stores to blacksmiths, and bakeries to realty companies. The local churches, such as Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church, Ebenezer Lutheran Church, and First Evangelical Free Church were also built by Swedes, and reflected the religious diversity of the new arrivals.
Like most other European-American ethnic groups, Swedes began to move to the suburbs during the Depression and post-war periods, and the neighborhood began to decline. Concerned about the deteriorating commercial situation, the Uptown Clark Street Business Association renewed its commitment to its Swedish heritage by renaming itself the Andersonville Chamber of Commerce. On October 17, 1964 Andersonville was rededicated in a ceremony attended by Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley and Illinois Governor Otto Kerner. At about the same time, the annual Swedish tradition of celebrating the summer solstice blossomed into Midsommarfest, which has since grown into one of Chicago's largest street festivals.
While some of the Swedish-owned businesses gave way to stores and restaurants owned by Koreans, Lebanese, and Cubans, many remained in Andersonville, serving the remaining second- and third-generation Swedes as well as the new arrivals to the neighborhood. In 1976, a Swedish American Museum that had been on the drawing boards for fifty years was opened to the public in a ceremony attended by King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden. He was also present when it later moved into larger quarters at 5211 N. Clark, where it remains today.

Detroit downtown - REAL USA Episode 85
Detroit, Michigan is a much more cosmopolitan city than the mainstream media generally gives it credit for. We decided to visit and try to pack as many highlights into a video as we could. Well, that didn't work out. There is just too much to see and to do in Detroit to even introduce it in a single video. So, this video is just some of the highlights from downtown Detroit, and the cultural and sports centers at the heart of the city. We shot lots of video, so more episodes are already on the way.
