    Well, I've been wanting to start some kind of outreach program for the kids in theatre. We've only got one theatre on the south side and that's ETA Creative Arts. There's no reason why we can't have as vibrant a theatre community on the south side as they do on the north side. But in order to get people to come see theatre, we need to start with the kids. Unfortunately, black people have become used to what they see on the "Chittlin' circuit" and are not exposed to other forms of theatre. That has got to change. I'm willing to get something started.

Newsalert: Rahm Emanuel Considers Closing 100 Chicago Public Schools

From the Newsalert Blog http://nalert.blogspot.com/2012/04/rahm-emanuel-considers-closing-100.html
A source with close ties to Chicago's public education establishment has confirmed that Rahm Emanuel may close 100 Chicago public schools. Along with the closures will come a vast expansion of charter schools. Emanuel has 150 half empty public schools that are a drain on tax dollars. With Chicago, having lost 200,000 people in the last Census: change is in the air. The only question now is will Rahm make the announcement Tuesday or Wednesday in San Francisco, or in the coming weeks? Can Rahm go to war with the teachers unions and win? Stay tuned....UPDATE- Rahm will not make the big announcement in San Francisco.

Alderman Anthony Beale's plans for 9th Ward Roseland

Does anyone know of any plans for the Roseland community? I drive around and see nothing but senior housing going up. The lot at 115th State has been torn apart a year ago yet nothing has been done to it, where's the Aldi and why do we need another when there's one just a mile west? There's nothing more than urban wear and hair supply stores on Michigan than blend quite well with the storefronts that are closed; such as...

There's nothing more than urban wear and hair supply stores on Michigan than blend quite well with the storefronts that are closed; such as the former Rent-a-Center lot on 115th Michigan behind Curtis School. Lastly, how many more churches can one ward have, like we haven't lost enough tax revenue in our community already? have Can anyone share any information on ANY worthwhile project in the 9th ward????

    Didn't realize I had two accounts on EB, although I'm ready to cancel them both due to the new changes here. Anyhoo, I was reading an article today that stated Ald Beale's daughter got accepted to Whitney Young Magnet school only after he made phone calls to the principal....This just gets deeper. How dare these politicians slap their constituents in the face the way they do and have nerve to get upset when people don't come out to vote.

    I know that family members of politicians always seem to get the best jobs making the higher wages, but must they also sneak into schools, have more than one government income and on top of all that...STILL DO NOTHING FOR THE COMMUNITY?

    well, I don't know what to discuss exactly, but as of now I don't like the way this is going, with having to "reveal" a message that got lots of NoThanks. Like mine from the infamous "Leashless..." thread. I got notified for 3 comments there, resulting in it being necessary to hit "reveal" to see the text

    The emails I rec'd from EB:
    Because this comment got so many "no thanks," we've hidden it by default and replaced it with a message saying it was removed.

    Going forward, please help us continue to make EveryBlock an informative, helpful and friendly community by making sure your comments fall within our guidelines.
    &
    We wanted you to know that a bunch of EveryBlock users have said "no thanks" to this comment that you posted:

    @ScottK I'm pretty sure no one's really disagreeing that it's a reasonable if not good law. I didn't ask about the law; if your condescending suggestion about the law being "hard to understand" was in response to my comments just preceding it, all I can is it was out of place and not very becoming of you.

    It is clear to me that you have zero tolerance for ANY dog to be off leash in ANY situation other than a place where it is expressly permitted by law. Fine, totally cool & I respect that. Is it because it's a law & you have zero tolerance for ignoring ALL laws, or is it just that you feel strongly about this one with an emphasis on the too ANYs that I specified?

    Maybe what I wrote wasn't particularly neighborly, but it isn't out of EB's guidelines, I don't think.
