• Street signs honoring people who gave their lives in the service
of others.

• Environmentally green buildings, both renovated and newly
built; ornamental and vegetable gardens sprung from vacant
lots, and green open space in lakefront parks and forest
preserves within easy access of the community, with swimming,
hiking, cycling, fishing, boating, and other sports facilities.
• An inexhaustible supply of artistic creativity found in local
murals, the altars displayed during the annual Day of the Dead
celebration and the on-going work of the South Chicago Art
Center and other community artists.
• And a community spirit that views South Chicago as “home.”
