North Park

I moved to this area about two years ago and I might have to move cause the crime is getting worst. Why did some kids come on private property and just bust a mans new car windows out for no reason at all. It was a camera video of this crime and the police will be going over to the local schools in the area to ID these kids.

All the empty storefronts on Bryn Mawr west of the river makes me question whether the area is Korea Town in name only. A sign of the economic depression or of the pace of the exodus of Korean-Americans from the City to the suburbs? When the area comes back, will it have a Korean-American profile or will it be something new? I think the City's the richer for the strong presence of Korean-Americans here.

Tiny black chihuahua puppy with a pink collar. Ran away from home near Bernard & Balmoral. Spotted on Spaulding on May 16, then in Hollywood Park.
She was running away from a couple of bicycles who were chasing her on Jersey/Kedzie. Then a girl had her on a rope leash wondering around Hollywood Park asking who was the owner.
As of now she is with another person trying to find me.
Please if anybody has seen her or know of anyone who has taken in a black small chihuahua, please call me. This is the family dog, and she is very much missed.

i let my sittercity account expire, and now i need a backup babysitter since ours is unavailable tonight... anyone have an option in a pinch? we're in West Walker area - Independence Park. EveryBlock found us an awesome daycare with Mother Earth on Pulaski, so I figured I'd give it a go for babysitting options, too!

How can we volunteer to have Foster Avenue, between Elston and Kimball, set as the first area to test the speed-limit cameras?

This section of Foster is clearly posted as a 30 MPH zone, yet because of the large area of parks and little parking there is a very large amount of speeding down this street. It's a real threat to pedestrians, senior citizens, children, bicyclists, and other using the public streets.

This would be a good place to test the system. Speed limit signs are clearly posted along the route and new signs wouldn't even be needed.

The safety floating ring in the bridge over the river on Bernard by Carmen avenue was opened and damaged.Yesterday it was dangling from the bridge, this morning someone tried to put it back. I called 311 to get it repaired. Please call 311 so we can have it fixed. Best regards,

So last night I was watching Chicago's Best on WGN and they were in the South suburbs at a Donut Shop. I am now craving a good, no wait, GREAT donut. For those of you who love Dunkin Donuts (I'm not knocking it, just not a huge fan), please don't suggest. Mind you, In a craving donut crunch, I will go to good ol' DD but now I'm in pursuit of a REALLY, REALLY good donut place in our area. Thanks and Happy Monday!

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!

I'm looking for a place to cater a birthday party for 50 people next week end. So far we've called Smoque ( LOVE that place ). Looking for a place with in a ten minute drive.

Thanks for the help !

My name is Rob and I moved into the North Park neighborhood not long ago from Ukrainian Village-West Town (Huron and Oakley)and really like it. It was nice to run by the canal today as it was very comfortable weather. Cheers.

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?

Sometimes college students can't take all of their furniture home with them for the summer. In an effort to reduce waste, some students are attempting to collect and re-offer perfectly good furniture and other items that might still have some life to them.

People's Gas has sent me a notice that they need to complete an inspection. Anyone have any information about this process. Any nightmare stories to share - or a good experience ?

Why do I dread letting this type thing ? I don't smell gas - but I do smell an excuse to milk my bank account.

Fantastic to see so much activity on EB and it is still growing. Wondering if you engage with neighbors and citizens in other ways too specifically around community issues and activities. Maybe Twitter? Belong to your local civic group? An advocacy group? Block club? What else?

Eugene Field Park at 5100 N. Ridgeway still has openings for summer camp! They offer daycamp from 9-3pm and Extended Camp (for working families) from 3-6pm. It’s a popular program. Parents can receive 50% off the fee if their child gets free or reduced lunch at school. They would just need to get the lunch letter from school stating they get free or reduced lunch.

Summer Camp lasts Monday, June 25 through Friday, August 3. Ages 6-13. $333 for traditional camp and $167 for extended camp option. Register online chicagoparkdistrict.com or visit the Field House.

Other areas of the city have waitlists for summer camp-- so lets make sure all of our kids have somewhere to be this summer.
