On Friday May 6th, Sam and I split up from Jana and Sara once again, because the two of them had an interview downtown. The two of us drove around downtown Chicago, since we spent much of the previous day outside of the city, and got footage of foreclosed houses downtown. To our surprise, there were a fair amount of foreclosed homes, apartments, buildings etc. Even small businesses in the city were struggling. Finally, when we compiled all the footage, we went to pick up Jana and Sara, and had lunch downtown.
Since we had a pretty late lunch, we had a small amount of time to kill in the city before meeting up with Jana's family friend downtown for dinner.
After about an hour or two of the four of us editing our footage, we packed up and drove to the restaurant called 'Le Creperie' where we were to have dinner. It was very delightful, tasty food, good conversation, all you could ask for!
The four of us then drove home, and slept wonderfully.
We woke up around 8:30am on Saturday, left my great uncle and aunt's house after a breakfast they prepared, and headed downtown. We got our last footage of the city, had lunch, and then drove the 6 hours back to Cleveland. Overall, our trip to Chicago was very informative. Sam and I found a lot more information than expected, at times it seemed easy to discover a foreclosed house. The amount of foreclosed homes in the city as well as outside of the city was overwhelming.
Yesterday, although Sam and I did not meet because he had an AP test, we did individual research on foreclosed homes in Cleveland, and edited our footage. Both of us look forward to a great week ahead.
