Just to clarify, those unsightly, er, I mean, second division vehicles with B-Truck plates in the state of Illinois can include more than just pickups. It also can mean SUV’s or vans too. That would include Tahoes ... But I suppose we can make an exception for Tahoes ... so long as they're sporting CPD stripes. But those Range Rovers and Land Rovers, especially the ones with rhino bars, are unsightly nuisances and must be banished. Make it so.

so, these school buses that are frequently parked on Kimball are not supposed to be parked there I suppose?

We also could take in "Tuxedo."

Nothing happened, i just haven't seen him the last couple days so i couldn't try to catch him. Anyone who sees him is welcome to try and coax him over. He is super sweet and will let you pet him; I've been calling him Boots, because of his little white paws. I'm sure Suzanne doesn"t care who catches him. : ) I will keep looking too.

Second City Cop must be all over this story, right? Right?

Fortunately, the IL Supreme Court just ended the prohibition against photographing cops. (The police sure didnt want that to happen.) The army of public camera phones should discourage some of the bad behavior, and will also help document those who cant help themselves.

All the above seem great. I take my kids to the Dolphin Swim Club in Skokie. It is right off of Dempster and 4 kids to a teacher. My 3 year old and 8 year old take lessons. They teach life saving skills in the water as well. I highly recommend them.

YMCA! My girls learned at the Lakeview Y (3333 N. Marshfield, around the corner from Whole Foods) We always bought sprinkle cookies at Dinkel's after class. Parking can be tricky there.
High Ridge Y (just north of Touhy on Western) has its own parking lot.

Hi Jon! I'd like to address the issue of standing water on the 3300 block of sunnyside whenever we get a heavy rain. The water pool on the sides of the street and does not drain for days. It's not only a mosquito breeding ground, and really smells after a while.

Pot holes in the alley between Kimball and Christinia. They have become craters and are becoming unsafe to drive over.

Thanks!

Jon, can you please inform the Alderman that Alderman Laurino is having a public meeting about the Albany Park Library on Thursday, May 24 at the Library? The Library Commissioner and an official from the Public Building Commission will be there, and it would be great if someone from the 33rd Ward Office could attend, since the closure impacts all of us.

I will get my pressure washer out in lieu of a European style water cannon Saturday.

I guess this explains the extra security unit at the Mayor's house starting Monday.

I'm wondering what kind of visibility the protesters are expecting. It's not like the dignitaries are going to visit that area, or drive through it. NATOpalooza events have really become silly.

If she doesn't find a home, let me know. I'm looking to get a second cat to keep my first one company.

No one else has responded to my fliers and craigslist posting, so give me a call at 773-401-0797 or email me at your convenience.

I will do my best to attend. DeVine bar is just as much or more of a problem. What can be done for a similar hearing for them?

Agree w/ Devine.
