Edgewater Library Demoliton Date Extended

An employee at the Edgewater Public Library informed me that the official May 28th closing of the building has been extended, but a new date has yet to be announced. The worker told me that she and her co - workers were made aware of the extension, though they are frustrated that the CPL commissioner's office has told them the library would be closed some time AFTER the 28th, yet has not given them a new date. Also, this employee expressed her disappointment at the closing of the current facility.

Not long ago, the CPL shortened the hours at several of its branches and laid off workers as a cost - saving measure.

Pekin House

Pekin House

Pekin House's menu includes, what has been rated, the best egg rolls in Chicago! This is, by far, my favourite place to treat myself to delicious Chinese fare. (Living nearby doesn't hurt either. This restaurant has been in the West Roger's Park area, seemingly, forever. And for good reason: The food is exceptional and, for those allergic to MSG, they will omit this ingredient upon request.

Pekin House is located at:
2311 West Devon Avenue, and their phone number is, 773.465.1630 Dine - in and takeout available. Pekin House also delivers.

When Edgewater Library Closes

Yesterday, I was told by a staff member of the Edgewater Public Library that services will cease after 28 May 2011. The employees still are awaiting instructions regarding where they will be working while the new facility is under construction.
