Anybody else hear multiple gun shots on or off Kenmore and Lawrence? Is this how the summer begins?

Hi-am soon going to become a mom and although I have plenty of time to research this, I was just curious how does one go about joining or collaborating with other parents with small children and infants in the area? Are there playgroups or parent groups/organizations in the neighborhood? I would like to hear your suggestions for those parents raising children in the city, and especially here in Edgewater-thanks!

Anyone else hear the very loud noise this morning at around 7am? It sounded like it was coming from near Argyle and Sheridan.

I am moving June 1st either in Rogers Park or Edgewater. Any suggestions on which area is better?? Thanks for the input I am moving from IN. Thanks!

Hi, Just read this article about a potential outbreak of blastomycosis, an invisible toxins dogs inhale and often die from. It mentions Hollywood Park, Legion Park, North side 60659 area.

Please check it out and if you walk your dogs there, don't until we learn more. And if it's true, these areas should be roped off! My friend's dog Audrey is currently battling blasto and it's a tough road ahead, not to mention crazy-expensive. Please check out info about Audrey progress. There's a lot of valuable info for dog owners to be learned at this site.

Sorry, I couldn't really come up with a comical title for this post, but figured I'd pass this article along.

Seems Cappleman saw a woman feeding the pigeons on Wilson, so when he came back and began sweeping them up she threw more bread crumbs on him and shoved him into the street before fleeing.

Police caught her later, again feeding the birds, and arrested her.

Frankly, I say good for Cappleman. Feeding the ducks is one thing, but feeding the pigeons just creates a mess.

On this week's episode of Political Forum, Chicago Ald. James Cappleman (46th Ward) discussed the upcoming NATO summit, Chicago's new Infrastructure Trust, the closure of mental health facilities, and new developments and issues in the 46th Ward. You can watch the whole episode here: http://www.cantv.org/VIDEO-Political-Forum-12-5-17-AldJamesCappleman.htm.

So this may not seem like a very important question unless you don't have cable -like me- and want to watch the summer Olympics on 5.3 as well as channel 5.

Has anyone else noticed that 5.3 has been blacked-out for awhile? Is anyone else bummed that this means less coverage of everyone's favorite quadrennial sporting event?

Does everyone but me have cable?

Is anyone else concerned with the combination of NATO protestors, cross-town classic attendees, and regular red line commuters making the el an unrideable sardine can of sorrow? Is the commute downtown going to be hell on Friday and Monday? Thoughts?

Did anyone hear a loud bang this morning? I took my dog out at about 6:45 and just before coming in (a few minutes later) there was a loud bang. This was in the alley between Argyle and Margate. I would have dismissed it as a dumpster being dropped but when I came in, my wife thought I came back for my umbrella because she heard it and saw a flash in the window. I imagine we were not the only two who heard it as she heard it inside while showering with the bathroom window closed. I called 911 but they had not received any other calls.

I just moved to the area and can't really decide if I like it or if I want to stay. I previously lived in South Loop and loved it down there. Here i always hear people yelling on the streets and I see it when I walk to the Wilson stop. I am a young female college student and don't know if I feel comfortable walking around by myself here (especially at night when I sometimes get home around 2am). I'm just looking for some advice or for some cool people to get to know since I don't know anyone around here or just any little tips you can give me. Thanks!

Neighbours,

I'm a responsible, reliable, professional tenant looking to move into a dog-friendly studio or 1 bedroom on June 1st. I currently live in a 2 bedroom in Ravenswood and I love the area, but I would also consider moving to Edgewater, Buena Park, Uptown or Andersonville. My dog is an older, large, potty-trained and well behaved mutt (not a pit mix).

I prefer to be contacted directly by owners or building managers and not brokers. I would also consider a sublet situation if there was a possibility to renew the lease.

Please get in touch!

Hi all - Does anyone know of any open parking spaces for sale in Edgewater, in apartment garages or elsewhere? Do you know the availability and cost, or have any ideas for where to look? Thanks!

So our son is about to turn 2 and our current daycare in uptown is moving further south. Does anyone have any recommendations for something close to Edgewater? The only ones i've seen seem pretty scary...
