Palmer Square

On a weekly basis i would get stuck behind a firetruck while picking my daugther up. They would take a hefty woman in a wheelchair up to her apartment while two grown men with her just watch them. Go figure city resources hard at work.

It isn't the best solution, but there is VERY limited handicapped-accessible housing available. I can't imagine trying to get around the city in a wheel chair.

Happie you are in a residential neighborhood right next to homes. Wouldn't just coming out slowly do the same thing without disturbing the people right next to the alley?

I don't think Happie has seen the behavior we're discussing. We are NOT complaining about people driving slow down the alley then lightly tapping the horn when they approach the sidewalk or blind intersection.

Ninny, here are their names:

It is a shame that it is closing. The surviving family worked very hard to sustain the business after the owner was shot and killed in a street robbery nearby, in front of his home, a number of years ago. After the murder, they totally revamped the store. Personally, I and my family thank them for their hard work and dedication to the community for so long. We wish them well.

They were all really nice people, especially Hector and Adelaide. The place wasn't fancy, but I always felt good supporting them.

The back story is really interesting and I am sure the family is great. Anytime we went in, they were always very sweet. It is still listed, so not sure that it sold. But yeah, def been shuddered all week.

We also go to Soggy Paws - usually the one on Armitage near Western

SPAw Chicago LLC 224-627-7691 or pet care plus self dog wash is only $8.00 ...Soggy Paws wouldnt let me groom my clients dogs there which I think is really stupid I actually blogged about their sucky service, they wanted me to work there for them but the owner is such a prude I would never :) just an insight on their personality. zero customer satisfaction on my part seriously : Good luck

Rms,
Do you have a contact for Buffington Academy? I can't seem to find one online.
Thank you

Email is best info@buffigntonacademy.com, the woman who runs the daycare is Carmen Buffington.

Thanks for posting this very useful information.

I didn't see anything in the news about it or the newspaper. Too much about NATO and the protesters which I could care less about. I care about my community and what is happening to our children. Is there any info in regards to description, car, etc?

I took the train on Wednesday and there was a horrible chemical odor and gas escaping from the sewers. The one in front of the train station had a cone and barricade but it couldn't have been good. It smelled like acetone and poofs of gas were coming out of the sewers on both california and milwaukee.

OK, not your style of humor, that's cool with me but you stated "I think I need to move"! Was it that tragic?

...have them dictate their number to Siri or the Droid alternative to avoid being distracted with dialing the number. ;)

Rats most definitely build underground burrows, usually with a number of bolt holes to give them multiple avenues of escape. We had a few visible burrow entrances in our backyard when we bought our house and I dropped smoke bombs in them to clear them out (I also used a shop vac in reverse to force the smoke through the whole system). Smoke was coming out of holes all over our yard and also in our neighbors' yards. It was amazing how extensive the tunnel system was.

Attrill clearly wasn't in 'Nam in '72

Glad to hear your friend is ok.

And thank god the state doesn't allow him to carry anything for his protection! Who knows what may have happened to those poor criminals...

My wife works at Ruby Room, on Division in Wicker Park. The place is lovely and does everything from haircuts to massage and skin care. And they're great at all of it!

Just curious... Did you find a place that you liked -- either from the previous suggestions here on EveryBlock or elsewhere?

Maybe it's something that needs to be addressed with the alderman or police because if there is no school / red light camera then the problem would persist. Cortland is also a very narrow street by Central Park, this is also a concern for me because I park my car on the street and fear that one day someone may damage it and not stop. Someone already bumped my wife's car (thank God it was a minor scratch) and they didn't stop.

It seems that speed bumps would be the solution
