    Very sad to hear about Indian Boundary.

    There have been sirens all weekend, or at any rate, because of the foofaraw in town, I've been noticing them more. I have no idea what any of them were about. . .

    And Mary, I'm not sure what you mean by Internet news, but poke around onsite and you'll find micro-news not found elsewhere, and of course not parroting the macro-news on TV etc. For what it does, EveryBlock seems to be even better than Twitter, by an order of magnitude.

  • One man said that police were saying that it was the HVAC system-- that someone turned on the electrical system and basically created a "Backdraft" situation, spreading fire.

    So very sad.

The Line Has Been Drawn (Gay Marriage)

Although I'm sure it's politically motivated in a highly contentious election year, I want to go on record as being PROUD of my president for changing his stand on same-sex marriage. Let the fireworks begin!

  • Given 90 percent of the comments on this blog (and, yes, that is what it has become) we now know why IL is in this situation.

    @Lauri: what is that supposed to mean?

    If you have something to say, speak in plain English. Don't speak in riddles.

Korea Town on Bryn Mawr: Living, dying or dead?

All the empty storefronts on Bryn Mawr west of the river makes me question whether the area is Korea Town in name only. A sign of the economic depression or of the pace of the exodus of Korean-Americans from the City to the suburbs? When the area comes back, will it have a Korean-American profile or will it be something new? I think the City's the richer for the strong presence of Korean-Americans here.

    My sense is that a lot of the Korean population has moved out to the suburbs. Lawrence Ave through Albany Park (formerly known as honorary Seoul Blvd. Not sure if that's still the case or not.) used to be solidly Korean up through the mid nineties and there isn't even a Korean market left in that area anymore. I sorely miss the Clark Market that used to be on Kedzie just north of Lawrence. They had wonderful take-out of fresh-made snacks and salads and a great fish counter. It's now a very, very good Middle-Eastern grocery store but I still miss the Korean food.

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?"
