saline to chicago: a rich experence


Life’s a little bit different living in Chicago compared to my home town of Saline, MI. Although the towns were founded about the same time, their histories are completely different. Chicago became a great port city for the United States while Saline stayed a small agricultural town in Michigan. The two towns’ size, population, and population make-up are polar opposites. The side-by-side comparison below shows just how different the two towns are. Living in such a different place has taught me a lot about myself and the world. I have learned to see the blessings of my past and see the riches of my present. Both cities have their positives and their negatives. Living in such a different place for so long I have come to love the diversity, immensity, and hope that is Chicago.
