Dog-Friendly Apartment Needed for June 1st
Neighbours,
I'm a responsible, reliable, professional tenant looking to move into a dog-friendly studio or 1 bedroom on June 1st. I currently live in a 2 bedroom in Ravenswood and I love the area, but I would also consider moving to Edgewater, Buena Park, Uptown or Andersonville. My dog is an older, large, potty-trained and well behaved mutt (not a pit mix).
I prefer to be contacted directly by owners or building managers and not brokers. I would also consider a sublet situation if there was a possibility to renew the lease.
Please get in touch!

Albany Park Cyclists?
Hi all,
I'm considering a move from Roger's Park to the Albany Park area, near Argyle and Albany. I'll spare you the typical "what is the area like?" questions, and ask instead, "anyone out there an avid cyclist?" I'd like to get to know more cyclists in the area since I'll be further away from the lake (which is something I'm familiar with and could do with my eyes closed - but don't, obvi :) ). A new route or riding buddy is always welcome.
Thanks!

To the east is the North Shore Channel trail which takes you up to Evanston and then on to the Green Bay Trail.
To the west is the North Branch Trail which takes you up to the Botanic Garden. You can got east to the Green Bay Trail or west to the Skokie Valley Trail.Only a short way south to Elston, and you can take a marked bike lane to downtown.
Along Lawrence, from Western to a little past Milwaukee is another marked bike lane, with a short distance of "sharrows" instead of a lane between the river and Central Park.
To the lakefront, take Wilson to Lincoln, then a block or two south to Sunnyside one-way east to almost the lake front, jumping up to Lawrence or down to Montrose to finish the trip. Or just take the bike lane on Lawrence to Lincoln and then south to Sunnyside.
No matter where you want to go in Chicago, Albany Park is the best place to start from.

AlbanyParker, that's a nice route. Alternatively, you could also use Sheridan Road instead of Green Bay Road. And another +1 for Iron Cycles!

Bunny rabbits eating my plants
There are a lot of bunny rabbits in my yard, both full size and youths, and, while adorable, they eat my flowers and perennials. Anyone else in the area have the same problem? Advice on keeping them out? Or, barring that, are there certain plant species that do well around here that the rabbits won't eat?

People used human hair to deter deer at a community garden I used to belong to, but it soon became apparent that it didn't deter the deer at all. In fact, some deer started coming into the garden to graze while people were there. They had to build a higher fence.

cleaning person
hi there can anyone recommend a reliable cleaning person for a two bedroom/1 bath in edgewater? i'd rather it be the same individual every time rather than through a service. i have cats so pet friendly would be a plus. also, any idea on the cost would be super helpful. many thanks!

I highly recommend The Green Maid. They use non-toxic pet-friendly products, the prices are very reasonable, and they are licensed, bonded and insured. They send a team of three and except for a couple occasions when they got lost or were running late, I've been very happy for the year + that I've been using them.

Graffiti at 5800 N Lincoln
I can't be the only person who noticed and called the Alderman's office about this graffiti but when I called they acted like they hadn't heard of it.
Sometime last week or this weekend someone vandalized several buildings around 5800 N Lincoln (at Francisco) and it continues down the alley. It is the back of several businesses. I also noticed that a homeowner's garage door was tagged. This is horrible. The tags were things like "BOTM" and "RLW". There was also a cartoon face. I'm thinking that these might just be kids from the high school and not gang related.... I'm hoping anyway. Anyone else know anything about those tags in particular?
Thanks! SBEN
