Lincoln Park Zoo: October 2006

http://ward43.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html

After midnight in Chicago's most attractive neighborhood. Tuesday, October 31, 2006. I had an engagement yesterday at Sumner-Kipp school deep inside the West Side. The school was locked like a fortress and it took me several minutes to get in. Heavy doors, painted a spartan brown to cover graffiti, were shut up against a desolate playground. Empty lots dotted the streets between dilapidated homes and long-shuttered factories. Our post-industrial environment. You what I would do to you if you didn't.

Tim Egan, husband of Marlena Miglin, got first position among the four challengers and made up the bulk of the article. But what would you expect from a newspaper whose society coverage begins on the front and occupies seven of their 16 pages of so-called news? The two longtime public advocates, Rachel G...

After midnight in Chicago's most attractive neighborhood. Thursday, December 21, 2006. Titled: "I'd rather not join the rat race" or. I smell an aldermanic campaign".
