    Thanks Gpblight i will do that but im tired of Chicago until i leave im going to try to fight the good fight to better neighborhoods

  • gpblight 15 Yr East Garfield Resident

    Thanks for being willing to try digital tools. That is why they say in some neighborhoods the DIGITAL DIVIDE is still expanding.

    Spread the word to use the INTERNET, email, EB, Crimewatch, Dkstrict Homepage...anything that will get you out of the CAPS loop and the Alderman loop.

    Nobody can stay on top of it better than vigilant residents asking that union workers just plain do a good job in our neighborhood.

Dwayne Truss and I will be guests on the Garfield Major Show on May 11, 2012. We will discuss a number of topics on the call-in show, including the impact changes to legislation surrounding school boundaries could have on North Lawndale and Austin Schools, and the impact the upcoming Cook County redistricting process could have on local residents of North Lawndale, Austin, East and West Garfield. The show goes from 10:00 pm to midnight on Sunday evenings, on AM-1450 (WRLL). You can stream live on http://wrll1450.com/english/personalities/index.html

  • Valerie F. Leonard Lawndale Community Builder and Policy Analyst

    We also discussed the Cook County redistricting process. We provided background on how the Census is used to determine representation in Congress; develop political boundaries at the state and local levels and allocate funds for entitlement programs. We expressed our desire that the 2nd District be preserved as a West Side district, and include the boundaries for the 24th Ward and 9th Legislative District.

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?"
