"It's a second home. I was looking for something that would remind me of a certain individual, or a certain place that I called home."

Ken

Ken is a sports fanatic. He loves the Chicago Bears, Chicago White Sox, and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Ken isn’t afraid to show his soft spot for Cavaliers all star, Lebron James, either. Most times, he is watching his favorite team play on television, and if there is a rivalry game taking place, it’s safe to say the “smack talk” will begin. Just ask Lisa, the community’s assistant manager that favors a Cavalier’s foe. Together, they’re always campaigning for their team’s victory against the other.

When the game is over, Ken and Lisa become good friends again, but Ken wouldn’t trade their back and forth banter for anything because to him it means he can be himself and people respect his individuality. Not only is his home at Orchard Place of Morgan Park & Beverly, but his family is too.
