Probably Legacy. Polish biker club

Claire...the alderman has always been responsive and helpful from what I've seen. Just curious about the anger. Woof woof

I have a creepy feeling that some of the inmates have access to this discussion. HA!

Anna, I know it may sound confusing, but it depends if the workers were working on 311 requests OR if they were working on an area "blitz".

You can call my office if you are in the 38th Ward and submit the address and I'll try to see if it's possible to get the tree trimmed during the next blitz. If you're in another Ward, call the Alderman's office to see if he/she can try and help.

My number is 773-545-3838.

If you go to the Zumba website, you can find classes based on your location. Immaculate Conception has classes with 2 great instructors 3 days a week. They run 6 week sessions and the pricing is as follows: Drop-in = $10 per class, One day per week = $48, Two days per week = $85, Three days per week = $100. I do the 3 days per week, and it works out to about $5.50 per class.

The Irving Park YMCA, Irving Pk at Kildare, offers several Zumba classes a week, including weekends.

One of the cool things is to visit the actual pavement where the executions took place behind what was then the Criminal Court. A place of pilgrimage almost entirely ignored by Chicago. And a nod of admiration to Governor Johann Peter Altgeld, who committed political suicide acquiting some.

Take away lesson from the Haymarket ... different people have different agendas. The agendas can be mixed together. If some have a violent inclination, the situation can explode.

OK. I didn't say whether I agreed with the merits of the bill you brought up. All I said was that there are other issues that need to be addressed, and the General Assembly seems to believe that recess was one of them. That's just one example out of many bills that have already passed this year that have nothing to do with the financial mess.

@ekop, yes recess is a state issue. It's the health and wellbeing of the children in their care. Just like their nutrition is when eating a school lunch.

Yes we drop off at Wright College too but its inconvenient having to drive it all over.

Twinmama, it even worse if you want to get rid of usable electronics. At least now you can get rid of old meds. P.S. It's ileagle to put them in the garbage or down the sewer. The 25th Police station takesthem, not too convient either!

My friend who found this young dog says it is not trained or housebroken, she is bringing it to the vet to scan for a microchip. This dog may need a forever home, if anyone is interested please let me know:)

Please put this information up on Lost Dogs Illinois Facebook page. They have been very successful in reuniting pets with owners.

Alderman Cullerton - THAT'S AMAZING! THANK YOU!! I'm doing my happy-dance!!!!

This is fantastic news - as a mom to a young child, the park is where we should truly feel safe in. Thank you for making this happen.

Your neighborhood cat may be not fixed. It's important to fix outdoor cats. Do you have any additional info on this cat?

If you're interested in a real project, come out to the Dunning-Read Conservation Area on Saturday, May 12, 9 to 12. be dressed for work, bring tools if you have them. They expect over 50 to show up.

I haven't been going, except for photography, Arthritic knees slow me down. Get another new one later this year. p.s. The AICC will show a digital slide show at the Austin-Irving Library, June 6, 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Next October, will be our last meeting. Membership is down and I want to retire for other persiuts.

@Ald. Tim, they were here this afternoon, sucked up all the water, Checked the sewer out, did whatever they had to do and left. I hope the problems solved. That was a really fast response. We'll have to see how it goes next time it rains. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. LOL Have a nice day and again Thanks.

:O)

Good News... I just walked past Belmont & Sayre with my dog (Sat - 4pm). Belmont is open, Detour signs are gone and Buses are moving through in both directions.
Bad News... The intersection looks awful. They patched it with cement and it looks horrible. Take your time driving through the intersection. They need to come back and repave the intersection.

Have been told in another context that the normal way the paving's now done is for the contractor to pour rough concrete so traffic can get moving. Later a different crew comes in to do the real paving, which requires a lot more engineering than the initial quick pour. Of course, I'd like to feel 100% confident this balances fast reopening with the most cost effective way to get to the finished project.

It was the Friends of the Parks with a group of volunteers. Donna the park Super was very happy with the results. However, she did wish that they notified her in advance so she could have the facility rfeady for them. The leader ws Mary Eileen Sulivan, a good, hard worker.

Sandberg Jewelers, Village Crossing, Touhy & Central. Family owned, used to be at Six Corners for many decades before moving north.

Davalle Jewelers at 5116 N. Harlem in Harwood Heights has a very good selection of earrings that are reasonably priced and much higher quality than you'll find elsewhere in the area.

I'm disappointed that the Alderman voted this way on this issue. It seems to be that he was not representing the will of a majority of his constituents who took the time to voice their opinion. People do have a recourse.... vote.

Very dissapointed that this decision to put up speed cameras. Wheres the trust anymore?

Can't wait to try it. LOVE the fact that there will be a bar that we can walk to in the neighborhood. I've missed Cafe LaGuardia dearly.

Harlem and Milwaukee in Niles.

Thanx for all these recommendations. I need a pair of favorite shoes fixed. I love Everyblock for this kind of sharing. It's so helpful.

Like I have said before the people of Chicago have to wake up. Rahm is part of the good ole boy network of politicians. He learned from the best Madigan, Daley and the the likes. We need to wake up and vote ALL of the old guard out. Let them retire if they can or get a job like the rest of us. They all seem to think they know more than those that put them in office. Wake Up Chicago.

Too bad it can't happen but I agree with zachary's sentiment at the top of this thread. While we're posting links to articles and venting our frustrations with Emperor Rahm, I found one by someone on the national scene who gets it: http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/blogs/national-affairs/why-rahm-emanuel-hates-democracy-20120403

Thanks for doing this, Bryan. I hope a lot of folks get out on April 18th to vote -- even if you don't have children attending CPS, these are still your neighborhood schools! Note: If you live in the Sayre school district (North-Grand-Harlem-Nashville) -- I would really appreciate your vote so I can continue working on the LSC to improve our school.
Thanks, Shelley Huske :)

Please let us know about inaccuracies or omissions. And again, we're happy to add any candidate's statement or campaign flyer.

Lala: City Church Chicago in West Town is doing an "EGG-A-PALOOZA" event this Saturday, 11am to 1pm. They break up the hunting by age groups. http://citychurchchicago.com/

Mayfair Park always does a good job. We're bummed that we'll be out of town! http://www.chicagoparkdistrict.com/parks/Mayfair-Park/events/easter-egg-hunt-at-mayfair-park/

Mayfair park has an egg hunt starting at 10:00 this weekend, then lunch with the easter bunny at 12:00. If you contact the park they can give you details on how to sign up for both.

Classy; Best of luck
