Missing Library Books?

A staff member at the Rogers Park Public Library told me, that both of the two book return bins were unlocked and ajar when she arrived at work this past Monday morning, and were empty. Normally, these bins are overflowing with books returned over the weekend. They resemble oversize mailboxes. It is highly unlikely that no books were deposited from Saturday night to Monday morning. The only explanation is, a theft had taken place.

The Original Maxwell Street Polish

The Original Maxwell Street Polish, at 6380 N. Broadway (N. Broadway & N. Sheridan, next to Popeye's), opened on 4 August, 2010. It's a new option to woo your palette. Their specialty is polish sausage.

Update: Well, I checked this place out yesterday afternoon. The verdict? I might as well get my complaints out of the way. There are no poppy seeds on their hot dog buns, and there is nowhere to sit. This place clearly caters, exclusively, to drivers. I had a hot dog with the 'woyks' and it was pretty good. The soggy french fries sported potato skins.

Barwaqo Kabob

Barwaqo Kabob, at 6130 N. Ravenswood, replaces Falafel Shack (RIP). Barwaqo's cuisine is Somali. I am not familiar with dishes from Somalia but, it sounds interesting. My curiosity might get the better of me one day, and I'll actually give it a try!

Open Letter To Alderman Shiller - Lake Effect News

Open Letter To Alderman Shiller - Lake Effect News

I stumbled across this letter from a resident who lives in Alderman, Helen Shiller's ward. The writer pleads with her to do something about the crime plaguing the Uptown community. Never mind that it was posted on the Lake Effect News' website, http://lakeeffectnews.com. The plea could be directed at any one of our elected officials. Street violence is not a Bronzeville problem, or an Englewood problem. It is a tragedy being played out in ALL our neighbourhoods and it won't be solved as long as our City's leaders pretend it doesn't exist. It can no longer be ignored.
