Bryce Harper to the Cubs? If Bryce Harper went to the Chicago Cubs, they would definitely won the World Series this year.  The reason why I say this is because I feel that Harper would be a perfect piece for the Cubs.  They need one more incredible outfielder to fill the gap that has been gone for a few years. Dexter Fowler was a very versatile player for the Cubs so if they could fill his position they would be set!  Plus, Bryce Harper is a considerable hitter as he has substantial power. The Chicago Cubs are currently sitting in second place in the NL Central right behind the Pirates.  Their record consists of 5-4 which is not too bad.  Last season Harper batted .319 with 87 RBIs and 29 Homeruns.  These stats are just mediocre for Harper in which he can consistently raise his averages.  On top of his exceptional hitting, Harper is a great fielder.  He is also a team leader in which he can incorporate with the Cubs. If  Bryce Harper we...

With every big city... comes thousands of homeless individuals living on the streets off of anything they can scavenge.  It is not a surprise that Chicago has over 125,000 homeless people in 2015.  This is a huge issue as there are many children and young adults that are literally living off of anything that they can get.  Everyday in the loop when I am out in Chicago I see the same homeless people out on the same corners.  They are literally there year round trying to panhandle and get some change to live off of. The big problem here is of course that these people are homeless, but also that many homeless adults suffer from mental diseases or face addiction challenges.  These individuals virtually receive no help.  The only help they get from others are either from people giving them cash or food, or volunteers walking around handing out blankets and tents.  It is just a terrible situation because there are homeless shelters but many of these homele...

Many people who enjoy traveling need some inspiration in order to choose their next destination.  Whether you are living on the mainland or not, I promise you that you will not regret checking out Chicago.  I am here to encourage you to travel to Chicago and have the best time of your life.

I can assure...
