    Emilys Reflection
    Everyone kept telling me to visit Wicker Park, and I kept putting it off, thinking that
    it couldnt possibly be all that exciting. After visiting Wicker Park, I realized I should
    have gone to Wicker Park a long time ago. There are so many different
    restaurants, coffee shops, and little boutiques that make the area so unique. Also,
    there are so many things to do there. There are lots of concerts to attend and lots
    of things to see, even for free. Wicker Park is such a cool place to go to and walk
    around; I highly suggest going and checking it out.
