I was told that, sometimes, when they arrest apparently mentally violent people, they bring them to Read Center and hold them there long enough to transfer them to a facility that can control them. ie, NOT permament! Just to hold and transfer!

CAR WASH
Does anyone use the NORWOOD CAR WASH on N.W. Hwy.? I'm looking around for a car wash and this place seems to be popular. They have good reviews on YELP. Does anyone use any of the other places on N.W. Hwy.? Thanks for the feedback.

Tony B. 36 ward residentGood News... I just walked past Belmont & Sayre with my dog (Sat - 4pm). Belmont is open, Detour signs are gone and Buses are moving through in both directions.
Bad News... The intersection looks awful. They patched it with cement and it looks horrible. Take your time driving through the intersection. They need to come back and repave the intersection. -
Portage Parker since 1946 Name says it.Have been told in another context that the normal way the paving's now done is for the contractor to pour rough concrete so traffic can get moving. Later a different crew comes in to do the real paving, which requires a lot more engineering than the initial quick pour. Of course, I'd like to feel 100% confident this balances fast reopening with the most cost effective way to get to the finished project.

It's a classy place, more restaurant than bar, nicely decorated and clean, with a super-friendly staff, it's certainly less sketchy than the Kat Klub a couple blocks away. If they have stepping parties, it's gonna be an older, responsible crowd. I'm thrilled to have a decent bar open, If I wanted to live in a dry neighborhood without black folks, I'd move to Oak Park, ha.

Can't wait to try it. LOVE the fact that there will be a bar that we can walk to in the neighborhood. I've missed Cafe LaGuardia dearly.

Huske Galewood Resident since 1994Thanks for doing this, Bryan. I hope a lot of folks get out on April 18th to vote -- even if you don't have children attending CPS, these are still your neighborhood schools! Note: If you live in the Sayre school district (North-Grand-Harlem-Nashville) -- I would really appreciate your vote so I can continue working on the LSC to improve our school.
Thanks, Shelley Huske :) -

It has been refreshing to see civility in the end, during this election, from all candidates. As a former proofreader for a major publication back in the day, the word is spelled CONGRATULATIONS not Congradulations.
No criticism, just to inform.

We now can look forward to seeing what new ideas, and the direction the winner of this election takes for the betterment of the ward. It is a challenging job and takes skill to juggle dual responsibilities that of both alderman and committeeman. With all eyes on the winner,
great ideas and dedication is expected by all who voted their
choice. Let's see what summer brings for now.... -

Schorsch Forest View History/Old Pictures?
I live in the Schorsch Forest View subdivision. From what I know already, half of the neighborhood (the Schorsch part) Was built from 1956-1958. The other half was put up in the mid 60's- late 70's. I was wondering if anyone out there has any other history for me. Old pictures of the neighborhood would be great too. I'm a bit of a history fan so anything regarding my neighborhood's past would be great. Feel free to email me through EveryBlock if you have any information.

Albert F. Opitz moved to the 36th ward 10yrs ago w/o leaving my hsI don't have any photos, however in the 50', there was a Stable across the street on Lawrence (south side) and a Quanset village for returning GI's onthe other corner (You still can see the fire hydrants, inactive). Don't remember much other than that. The Air Force, College and marrage took the rest of my time until '74. Remember some of the buildint though!

Albert F. Opitz moved to the 36th ward 10yrs ago w/o leaving my hsThere were several seen at the Dunning site. Very resourceful at hiding. They're all over the city, note news article when one went to a sandwich shop and sat in the cooler. (I guess he was hungry). Now the City discovered that they are good at rodent control (Rabbits, geese, etc.) and just monitor their activities!

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