Day 10 Haymarket and Pullman Tours

Today we toured the Hay Market Square and discussed where different events took place. We then had lunch at the Healthy Food Lithuanian restaurant. The food was good. It is interesting how foods can be called different things from different parts of the world but still be very similar. We then continued on our tour to Pullman. The Pullman town was interesting thinking about how George Pullman thought he would solve all the problems that other companies were facing by building his own town. When in reality he set himself up for another set of problems with his employees.  I thought it was interesting how he and his family have not learned from their mistakes. In their thinking big corporations take care of the worker, is that why all the big companies are sending their factories out of the country so the workers are taken care of?
