Hammond’s Promise Land Shows The Results Of Hard Work And Dedication

Tina Hammond and her husband bought a vacant lot in West Englewood in 2014 for $1 across the street from their home. They fixed up the lot and created an oasis and safe space. They named the space, which is located at 6832 S. Paulina, ‘Hammond’s Promise Land’ to reflect their intention to make it a place where people can experience beauty.
