Family living in Edgewater

Daycare near Edgewater?

So our son is about to turn 2 and our current daycare in uptown is moving further south. Does anyone have any recommendations for something close to Edgewater? The only ones i've seen seem pretty scary...

4600 Block of Paulina

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!

    Try Bil-Mar Management - I think they have two buildings in the area and are dog-friendly.

  • Nick 4600 Block of Paulina

    I will give them a call, thanks!

The Line Has Been Drawn (Gay Marriage)

Although I'm sure it's politically motivated in a highly contentious election year, I want to go on record as being PROUD of my president for changing his stand on same-sex marriage. Let the fireworks begin!

How Many of Us Cross Devon East of Damen on Bicycles?

Looking to show support to Active Transportation Aliance (ATA), Loyola and others for a dedicated NS route from end of bike path to points north.
This would be away to assemble a list of potential supporters.
If you support a dedicated NS bike route please like this thread.
Currently the official route North from the LSD bike path is North then West on Granville. If anyone has any comments on the commute west on Granville please articulate below.

    I'm not sure bikers should be going against one-way traffic. They're supposed to follow normal traffic rules, right?

  • Bruce Mayberry

    @Bill that is my exact southern route. I like it because it is very tranquil and goes through so many school zones. I feel safe with the kids in tow. Once the kids are dropped off then I have tried many routes and try to eliminate the really obnoxious speed bumps. This morning I took Thorndale West and was pleasantly surprised how nice that was. It does get quite narrow once a block or so East of Broadway. hauling a trailer by bike can be quite an experience.

Mini rant

Just got back from a nearly weeklong vacation in D.C. What struck me is HOW CLEAN everything was ... from the lack of litter on the streets (not just on the Mall ... we were all over the city) to the strictly enforced "no eating" rules on the Metro. And then we got back, transferred from the Orange Line at Roosevelt, and stepped right into a puddle of urine on the elevator with our luggage. Sigh...

  • I happpened to walk down State Street yesterday from Jackson to Washington on the west side. Smelled like a urinal that is never cleaned. The smell stopped just short of the Burnham Hotel with its outside cafe. The city should be cleaning this area with bleach or some such cleaner every morning. It is a disgrace. I actually thought about moving to the loop recently. Not after what I experienced.

    Compared to many cities in Europe, Chicago is pretty clean. The two big mistakes in Chicago are:

    (1) an overhead rail system — a huge scar on the landscape wherever it goes: who wants to live next to that noise and sight? so the el lines have acquired a sheath of poorer buildings, crime, etc. The cause of this mistake was a decision, years ago, to build cheap: but maintenance expense has far outweighed the initial savings, and now it's near impossible to put the lInes underground. Back when Chicago was less built‑up, it could have been done. (Building the CTA was kinda like buying a Windows computer because they're cheaper than Macs.)

    (2) the lack of culvert-type drainage. We drain off rain water via small drains often at corners. Predictably, they clog and fester. A running culvert system, where water drains along the entire street, combined with slightly cambered pavements, keeps streets clean.

    But even despite that, we're cleaner than Rome or Marseille or Milan, and (depending on the decade) Paris. Like Moscow, Washington is a showcase, there's big money to keep it presentable.

STOLEN!

Parked on the corner of BERWYN and SHERIDAN last night at about 3am i noticed that my motorcycle was gone! i filed a police report but am sceptical that i will ever see it again. get off the streets folks.
any info is appreciated

  • why do you have to pay impound fees if you are a victim of a crime?

  • PhoebeK10 Rogers Parker since 1991

    wow. Recovering stolen merchandise is pretty rare, from what I hear. Glad to hear you got your bike back. Sorry to hear it was stripped and dropped. Was it dusted for prints? Is CPD pursuing leads to arrest the thief/ thieves so maybe you could also recover the fees? Sux that your baby was stolen, but it's practically a miracle you got it back. Of course (being the victim of theft, I'm speaking from personal experience), you'll NEVER recover the time and aggravation.

Living and Playing in Chicago

Edgewater Play Groups?

Hi-am soon going to become a mom and although I have plenty of time to research this, I was just curious how does one go about joining or collaborating with other parents with small children and infants in the area? Are there playgroups or parent groups/organizations in the neighborhood? I would like to hear your suggestions for those parents raising children in the city, and especially here in Edgewater-thanks!

  • The neighborhood group WANT in West Andersonville hosts a indoor playlot Tuesday and Friday mornings from 9-11 a.m. at Summerdale Community Church, 1700 W. Farragut. Free and very informal -- just time and space for caregivers and kids to hang out.

    Hey DK,
    Sorry I'm a little late in responding, but I started an Edgewater New Parents Group through meetup.com in January 2012 as a way for new parents who live in and around Edgewater to meet and bring their little ones together for play dates, walks, and more. The ages of the children in the group vary - with 2-week-olds all the way to 18-month-olds. We currently have a walking group that meets every week and some sort of play group each week as well (book discussion group, baby food swap or just hanging out). The best way to find out info for the Edgewater New Parents Group is to go to our page and join the group. And just so you know - although we may bring food or drinks to share, everything we do is free. Here's the page: http://www.meetup.com/Edgewater-New-Parents-Group/
