    Watching the live feeds, I am astonished at how many of the protestors smoke cigarettes and are bumming them from each other. What a nasty expensive habit and they're supporting big business/capitalism.

    First: I wonder if they are protesting fossil fuels, how did they arrive in Chicago? Bicycle? Walk?
    Second: If they are protesting the war, why don't they go to Afganistan and protest to Al-Kaida?? Why is the U.S. always at fault?

Used Bikes Nearby?

by kenji

Time for me to get another bicycle. I'm in the market for something used, preferably inexpensive. I'm looking for something to commute and pleasure ride around the area with, not go fast. I'm ready to put some work into myself too. Hybrid, road, mountain is fine.

Any places you folks recommend to check out. I keep an eye out on Craigslist.

    Kenji, dunno if you got your bike. But in my humble opinion the COOLEST, HIPPEST used bike shop is Working Bikes Cooperative, a non-profit on S. Western. We just got a bike for Claire there. Here is the website: workingbikes.org. It's worth a trip just to chat with these folks.

Speed Limit Cameras on Foster

by Bob Kastigar

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.

  • Friday

    Miranda rights relate to criminal law.

    Traffic violations are part of civil law.

    Let's try and stay on the issue here.

DONUTS!!

by Jacquie S. in North Mayfair

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!

Please be on the watch for a maroon car 4-door small, lots of chrome.

Today 5/12/12, my daughter was walking the dog and saw this car parked in the neighborhood (Sauganash Woods). There were 2 men in the car, around 50 years old, one with long dark hair (at the shoulders), possibly Hispanic or Native American. They were looking at her as she walked by.

About 2 hours later, my son was walking the dog and this car pulled up, the driver motioned him to come to the car. The passenger GOT OUT OF THE CAR, started walking toward him and started asking him for directions. My son said nothing to him and immediately ran away from him and ran home. A police report was made.

About 2 months ago, the same described car was in this area and approached another girl. In that incident, there was a man and woman in the car. Male with same long haired description. A police report was made.

What You Can Do

. Be aware of this situation and alert neighbors in the area about the crime.

. If possible, don't walk alone and stay in well lit areas.

. Call 911 to report any suspicious person(s), vehicle(s) or activity in your neighborhood.

. Call 911 and provide a detailed description of the offender(s) including the vehicle description and license plate information.

Talk with your children. We need to keep alert and our eyes open. If anyone sees this car, PLEASE GET LICENSE PLATE AND CALL 911.

Please circulate this email so we are all aware.

I check in this afternoon to EB. All is normal. I go, swim my laps, shower, ride back, open my EB and all of sudden there's Thanks and No Thanks.

Fill me in.

FYI, for EB mods/admins/employees, seeing this, for your next company meeting, to get extra points, tell the powers that be, there should be a place for all EB "members" like us, from all over the USA, to talk amongst ourselves about how EB is run. A forum on the blog (which sucks BTW.) or somehwere else, to talk amongst ourselves about how you design and run EB, and handle the everyday tasks.

How Many Ways Do You Engage?

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?

    I've lived here for 9 years, and have 2 small kids. I've found this to be a great community for families. This is a very kid-centric neighborhood, although the longer time residents whose kids are gone and those w/o kids seem to mix in very well with the younger families.

    There are lots of activities at the park for kids and a nice playground, block parties during the summer, 4 of July festivities (kids parade and party in the park). In terms of friendliness of your neighbors, it probably depends on the particular block that you would move to, which is hit or miss. Generally I find the people to be friendly. On some blocks (like mine) there is a great deal of interaction between neighbors. We are lucky enough to have a lot of kids on my street, and the kids play outside a lot and various neighbors will keep an eye on them. I came home yesterday to a house full of neighbor kids - not an unusual event.

    My husband and I moved into Sauganash 3 years ago, and we love it. There is a good mix of young families, and older people that have lived here for 20+ years. My husband is a police officer, and I am often home alone at night. I feel very safe knowing that I can go to my neighbors if I need anything.

Summer Camp at Eugene Field Park

by jessland

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.
