Patio furniture

by Dominick

A few weeks ago the wind took our umbrella lifted it up and smashed our glass patio table. Anyone know what is the best place to buy one besides a home depot, etc. possibly a used one!

Dog Park
The dog park will be relocated to the northeast section of the park and be enlarged to about 10,500 sq ft.
Work to start in June taking about 6 wks to complete.
There will also be other improvements made to the parks plumbing, etc. and other minor improvements made to other community parks as part of this effort.
Existing dog park will remain open during transition.
The existing location can be returned back to its prior use for ice-skating.
Several residents asked some general questions about the design, hours, drainage issues etc. The alderman, gent 1 and gent 2 answered.
State Rep. spoke very briefly, comments not substantial, other than implying he had something to do with obtaining funding.

Res 1: Was a park usage survey done before decisions made regarding the dog park?
As she believes it’s required residents within a 5-block radius be surveyed prior to usage changes.

Alderman O’Conner: No it hadn’t (not sounding sure) and the dog park was put in motion prior to me taking office.

Res 1 pursued the issue and the Alderman stated that it wasn’t an issue for a public forum, they could discuss privately.

Overall the audience favored dog park relocation and improvements.

    I was reading the post above about all the probs w/ the dog park. I only go occassionally but everyone I meet there is from the hood so I don't know why it keeps being said ppl don't live in the area. (So what, I have gone to Wicker Dog Park, we are all Chicagoians)

    I drive and walk by several times a week and at different times, and I have never seen anyone parked in the crosswalks. The hours are honored because they lock it , but I think there should be no hours, as long as the park is open.

    It never looks dirty from the inside or outside when I walk by. So it is cleaned by the ppl who care about it.

    Dogs have been running around that area long before any park was officially built and there was no formal concern that anyone was citing at any time. No one is going to get hurt for any reason that is related to the dog park. The same ppl with dogs have been driving and parking and walking in that area for DECADES!

  • Immaculate Conception School reviewed by a parent

    We are completing our first year at IC. Early in the year we were concerned our son's needs weren't being met. The principal, his teacher and the special pull- out teacher all put their heads together to work with us. The principal is exceptional. She welcomes parent questions, and will change methods and policies when needed to make sure each child and parent is satisfied. Our son has some social issues, but the teachers and staff do all they can to help, without making an "issue" of it for him. I love this place.

Citywide staff pick

From New Bike Racks - where did they come from?:

"Just curious about the new bike racks you see through Lakeview. They are cool colors and in the shape of a bike. I like them and just wondering if they were purchased by the city or some how locally. Any comments would be helpful?"
