If parking around the Morse EL is tough this weekend, it's because the CTA is laying down new wood beams for it's tracks. Seem they got a little greedy in how much parking spaces they were trying to use for this job. Michael Land at the Alderman's office is working with the CTA to see if they actually need that much space to park the trailers and equipment. Thanks, Michael Land. Hope you have

Good afternoon, everybody. It's been a while since I've posted here, so I decided to make a quick post on life at Sullivan (I was also encouraged to by one of the school cops to do so). It's been good. No mini riots broke out last week (from what I've seen, at least) or today. There's just been some of the usual goofing around. But that's high school life for you, and it doesn't bother me much.

Talk about being bamboozled by poor oversight.Purchased in part with TIF grants from Rogers Park taxpayers, both the Crown Center gallery and the new Mundelein building are meant to be used, in part, as a community resource — community members attend plays and exhibits, and both buildings serve as a source of art appreciation for Rogers Park. With no Crown Center Gallery and Mundelein’s

He was seen heading towards Pottawatomie Park. A crime scene is set up at Fargo and Winchester where a crowd is gathering. An officer radioed in that a taser had been discharged, too.

Apparently, a brawl broke out wtihin the walls of Sullivan today. At about 12:55pm this afternoon to be exact, during the 6th/7th period change. I didn't see the actual fight, but what I witnessed when I was coming from the 3rd floor was a kid running out of the disciplinarian office with two cops in pursuit (well, sort of, because they weren't running) of him. I then saw a few teachers heading

Good afternoon, everyone. It's me, Timmy. I'm just here to give a quick update on things. It's been calm over the last two weeks at Sullivan. Like I've said before, it is way calmer than last year.

6:28 PM: It's tough when one district has to borrow a wagon from one district to cover another. But that's exactly what went down in the 24th district tonight. The 20th had to send over a wagon to cover 24's lack-there-of. So, not only do we have a manpower shortage - we're wagonless.

"Murals Forever!" "Just keep on doing it!"Al GoldbergJuly, 2007Well, Al, they are. Whomever they may be. Here's two of three murals spray painted on the Rogers Park Vintage Management building in the 7000 block of North Glenwood. Clearly the artist has visions of $$$ signs. That must represent the tax-payer money that's going to be spent removing this mural?

It's been a lifelong dream for Al Goldberg. As he see's it, Rogers Park doesn't have enough murals. Well, here's a new one that's popped up on the Glenwood side of the Reside on Morse building recently. You can't miss it. It's really, really big. You can see it from the Morse Avenue EL platform.

Many of us lament the lack of choices when election time rolls around. Now is the time we can do something to change that. There are numerous candidates running and every one of them would appreciate an hour or two of our time to collect signatures. Winning a spot on the primary ballot spot is the first contest and doesn't happen without signatures. State Reps need a minimum of 500 signatures;

At least it won't be another hole in the ground.In owning the buildings located at the southwest corner of Albion Avenue and Sheridan Road, Loyola had incurred a development dilemma: renovate and bring the buildings up to code (a $500,000 option) or demolish the structures altogether (a $100,000 option)? The university chose the latter (See: “LU building demolished” pg. 1), and we at the Phoenix
