New black top at Pratt Beach Park, so pretty it'll make everyone want to drive their car up to the lifeguard hut and play tetris on their cell phone. 10-4

I'll join your block club

Who got to go the block club organization meeting? I didn't! But I'm willing to join/ organize/ accessorize any block club that'll have me. Here are some names I've come up with.........

farwell families unite/ farwell block heads/freaky farwellians
Anyone interested?

And the award for best clock goes tooooo..............

CLARK DEVON HARDWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had no idea this place was so awesome. You can hardly get down an isle without someone asking if you needed help! Now, if only that park next door actually had kids playing in it..then this would get my vote for best clock and best intersection.

my favorite mail box

My favorite mail box is on Glenwood(south bound) and Farwell. It gets the job done and who can argue with it's sensible federally mandated blue color?

Block Clubbing

Would you like to have a block club? I would! We could get together and talk about all the things we love about our block, board games, bbq, fly kites! it'll be swell.

what do you want on your city sticker? olives and basil

Did you know you can buy all your Chicago parking stickers tomorrow at the Alderman's office, that's right, even the beloved ZONE 56?? Did you know you could then go cross the street and get a pizza afterward if you were so inclined????? Well let this be a warning to you! and if you wanna buy me one too, that would be down right neighborly of you! I'll brace myself for the flood of offers.

Rogers Park...evil twin of the north!

Hyde Park is where it's at, but who said being the evil twin wasn't fun? Oh sure Hyde Park has better this and nicer that, but I know one thing it doesn't have....ME!

Rogers Park- surf and turf

I declare this day to be the first annual Rogers Park Sandy Cheeks Day! I not only saw many buns- but also a couple patties completely encrusted with the sands of happiness and it made me smile and it made me like living here just a little more.

Artist of the Wall- sunburning people for 14 Years!

panini panini gets shady

Panini Panini has recently covered part of the outdoor patio. Now you can enjoy your Fanta in the shade or the sun!

hey baby, did you get a new tire swing?

Lazarus playlot on Columbia just west of Sheridan, have I told you lately that I love you. Who needs botox?-all you really need is new mulch and tire swing to make you look at least 10 years younger.

Let's talk about Rogers Park inovation.

Morse Gyros on the corner of Wayne and Morse, a "classy" joint where the staff can cook upwards of 5 separate orders without writing a single thing down, will surely soon be known as "Morse Gyros- Home of the Gyro Taco"! I myself have not yet tried this taste sensation, but I have seen it and it does exist. I'm sure your only question is "can I get cheese on that?".

shout out to the dollar store

I'd like to take a second and give a big shout out to the dollar store on the corner of Morse and Glenwood! Although your aisles are cramped and always overflowing with surplus inventory, you have a good selection of aprons and bandannas. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
