#openclearandfree

This picture to me, models the book Forever Open, Clear, and Free by Lois Wille. The ability to go to the beach, parks, and other areas are all thanks to the citizens who fought for the freedom of the lakefront. The lakefront has been through multiple transformations, the most important would have to be the openness to the public. Instead of building on free land, they kept it open for the parks so the citizens can enjoy. I did not realize what an impact the parks and beaches had on Chicago and its development. Many people have fought the city and other authoritative figures to keep the parks clear which is substantial to why Chicago grew. My thoughts were transformed when I found out how the parks and buildings coexist to make Chicago. That is the reason why I enjoy this picture, because this woman represents the freeness in Chicago where the people can enjoy a forever open, clear, and free city.
