Egging Cars
While standing in my driveway last night about 11:30 p.m. I heard a thump as a white Ford/ Mercury SUV drove past a white Scion parked across the street. I didn't realize it at first, but a few minutes later I walked over to the Scion and realized that the SUV full of teens had thrown an egg at it. I drove around the block to see of I could find the teens, but they were long gone.
I tried to wipe most of the egg off the Scion but I am not sure of who's car it was.
Just thought I would let the neighbors know.

Add Little Tikes toys and turn on the blow torch
Neighbors, do you really think that plastic lawn chairs, no matter how artfully arranged, improve the look of your front yard?

Libby Booker Beverly transplantSure, chairs are for sitting, but some homeowners, mostly west of Western, mistakenly consider them lawn decor. You'll recognize them. . .placed with care in the middle of the lawn, gently angled toward each other, as if waiting for the lord and lady of the manner to alight. . . all the while screaming "We decorate with plastic and we don't care who knows it."

They'll only get it if you let them take it. Again, please call 911. Feel free to repost.

After many years in law enforcement I feel perfectly safe in stating that if thugs from 45th and Wood are coming all the way to 111th and Central Park to relax after court they are doing so at the bequest of a female from this neighborhood. She likes him enough to hang w/him in a safe park but not at 45th and Wood.

Scoopie Concerned citizen of Winston AveI agree. I use to do the same thing.i.e. travel cross town just to see a girl that I liked. All CTA and through "enemy territory". It was love.

Family Care Giver is seeking financial assistance
My brother has brain cancer. He was diagnosed with stage IV glioblastoma in 2009. He has outlived his prognosis by 2 1/2 years. Two weeks ago his M.R.I. showed that he has developed his second tumor since the original one. He is single, permanently disabled and a home owner. The original tumor caused vision damage that makes driving an auto no longer possible. I am his means of transportation. I take him to doctor visits, grocery shopping, etc. The problem...

The original tumor caused vision damage that makes driving an auto no longer possible. I am his means of transportation. I take him to doctor visits, grocery shopping, etc. The problem I am having is that my bills are not being paid on time, because I am not working. I am married with a husband that works, but that is not enough for us to survive. I have been told by numerous people that I am eligible for financial assistance for being a care giver. I went to the Social Security office and was told that the Government did not have any programs that offered assistance to care givers. I searched the web for State & County programs. I did not find what I was looking for. I know someone out there has the info I'm looking for. Please take the time to share it with me.

Someone a while back pointed out the American Cancer Society is a good resource for information...Also, you may want to contact the St Vincent De Paul Society at your closest local parish. (You dont need to be a Catholic) They have members who will take your brother to appointments, shopping or provide companionship and give you a respite at no cost..Take care of yourself too,caregiving is very stressful...Good Luck

Thanks to all three of you that responded as of today. Elizabeth I hope to obtain more info from you via email.

Speed Cameras
Does each individual ward receive the funds generated that the cameras are in? Will said cameras that are being put up and funds squeezed from tax payers actually go "to the children"? Who controls how the funds generated are spent? Which bank holds the funds and who on what Boards/Committees or campaign contributors has an interest in said bank? Who gets the contracts for the cameras, installation and monitoring?

Sad to lose Beverly Pantry too. It's unfortunate but I think it's very hard to be an upscale restaurant in an area where there aren't a lot of other "date night" type destinations nearby, and way off the convenient transit hubs too. (You can't really rely on the Rock Island for a late night out.) The BAC does some nice things sometimes, but for a lot of people if they're going out to a nice restaurant they're going to a movie/play/concert/museum/something to make a night of it, and for us that usually means going North where those things tend to be. We don't even have a movie theater since the one at Evergreen Plaza closed 12+ years ago, so it's a drive out to Crestwood or Chatham or farther just to catch a movie.

Lost bike
My son left his bike at Mt. Greenwood School playlot on Thursday and we discovered it gone on Friday a.m. I'm thinking a teen probably took it in the evening and left it on someone's lawn somewhere. it is a yellow 20" bike. Please let us know if anyone has found it anywhere.
Thanks.

Neighbor 40 year residentI'm done commenting on this. I still feel I was doing the right thing and that no harm was done. I was just trying to be helpful.
You're entitled to your own opinion. -
Yesterday we found my son's bike. A neighbor saw it on the playlot in the evening and took it home and put it on her porch. She didn't know who it belonged to. My son found it when he was walking by. We are very grateful to them and to all who kept their eyes open and tried to help.
Thanks.

Speak now or forever hold your speed
Ald. O'Shea indicated he had requested changes in the Mayor's proposed red light blitz. I encourage everyone to contact him immediately and tell him to vote NO on this law in any form! An end to these oppressive fines and laws!
At the same time, thank him for the support he has given local parents who believe that children should not be asked to attend an "adult-sized" 7.5 school day. We, not the Rahmfather, need to decide what is best for our children
