'Aspire' educational monument to be unveiled in Englewood
CHICAGO (CBS) -- With a nod to the neighborhood's history, and a look ahead to the future, a new monument will be dedicated in Englewood Thursday.
The Aspire monument is at Wentworth and Marquette Road.

Commercial real estate developer Sterling Bay owns the land and is planning an announcement later this fall about permanent plans for the site.
