Lincoln Park's American Dream-
I think that the American Dream in my neighborhood is going to be good education for children, a steady income, and enough money to pay for everything comfortably. I think that education will be an especially big factor, as there are a disproportionate number of schools in Lincoln Park and a good education is very highly valued
