* Loyola Park Looks Better
Hi Craig, I don't know if you've been in Loyola Park and seen the dead branches have finally been removed. Thanks for keeping the 'pressure on'. Your blog is the best! Keep up the good work.

These kind of stories always amaze me. Any regular reader knows that Mr. Hole has a relationship with the PR person from Streets and Sanitation, Matt Smith. I don't know how it started, but it probably was from him calling about huge stories that were going to get the Mayor voted out of office.
Now, anytime Mr. Hole writes about something being wrong the moment it changes it is because he is a miracle worker. Readers seem to actually believe City Hall employees are monitoring the HellHole for posts on the blog and send workers right out. All of the prior calls to 311, the Mayor's Office, the 49th Ward Streets and San. Office and the Alderman did nothing and had no impact. It was Hell Hole.
I think people should get a little more realistic about the impact any blog has on city government providing city services. The fact is that everything the city does takes longer than it used too. Even if Mayor Daley doesn't like to say it, it is true. I am going to suggest this, call 311 yourself next time, write down the case number, and call back every few days until it is done. Then you can take the credit. It takes a little more effort but you get the glory!
