http://ward43.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html

After midnight in Chicago's most attractive neighborhood. Sunday, January 21, 2007. Lincoln Park bridge tender lives on West Side. Ample airtime on that subject when I take the podium. Posted by Peter Zelchenko at 10:36 AM. Monday, January 08, 2007. Also known as, "While Vi slumbers, Part III"). I sat down with Vi Daley to talk about the problems in 2005. I was very friendly. Since that time, three of my apartment windows have been smashed, all by drunks on Friday and Saturday nights. My friend acros...

Lincoln Park residents, please write to schools CEO Arne Duncan and urge him to settle the costly lawsuit brought by homeless families who need and deserve better support from CPS.

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.

Lincoln Park Zoo: June 2006

http://ward43.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html

After midnight in Chicago's most attractive neighborhood. Wednesday, June 28, 2006. Read July 5, 2006 press release. The problem is that the new permanent street cleaning signs have been posted, but the alderman hasn't updated the schedule. That she sends to the Department of Revenue and the police. People are correctly assuming they can park on these streets but are being ticketed by people who aren't paying attention to the new signs. Posted by Peter Zelchenko at 4:33 PM. Friday, June 16, 2006. A woman...
