McKinley Park's first month getting settled in Chicago:
1) We visited the Bean with LV (Little Village).
2) We played LV in a game of kickball (and won).
3) We explored McKinley Park with our favorite house coordinator Unity.
4) We successfully changed a tire (with help from a very generous neighbor).
