Progress Report

Gale Park Field House - Progress photos as of July 20, 2007. There were more than 3-4 workers out. This morning, July 30, 2007 – The building has a partial roof and may soon have partial walls. There were workers out on Saturday too. Any wagers on which month this will be completed? . . . . Pictures and More


Howard Street's Mural
The BIG picture –Howard Street doesn’t get a fancy mural - just advertisements on vacant board-ups. I just wanted to share what we see while walking up to this corner.

And of course, we can’t ignore the back side of the paper mural. It’s the streets genre.

The medium used for this project is a mix of neglect, apathy, disrespect, and trash. Does anyone recall Robert Coe’s company being named ‘Sherlock Holmes Builders’? . . . . Pictures and More

In a couple of posts Toni writes about the new field house at Gale Park and seems to complain that DevCorp North isn't doing a mural in her part of town. The buildings in her photos are scheduled to be developed into something new. but with the downturn in the economy and particularly the housing market this might take a while. I am certain that some how this delay, the national economy and the slow housing market are somehow related to Moore's work as Alderman.

We Are Never Wrong!

The Poo Pot

The Poo Pot Stirrer is attempting once again to get the odor away from his boss Joe.

During the 2002–2003 aldermanic election, The Storefront Lawyer was on the old forum49 bashing everyone who wasn’t supporting Moore. In the 2007 election he ‘allegedly’ took a different path and was supporting an alleged contender who now sits on the zoning committee. Here’s what he’s dying to really know and I don’t feel obligated to share with him! . . . . Complete Piece

Toni blogs yesterday about the now supposed evidence in her never ending story about "pink" postcards. Self-righteously, she claims to hold the high moral ground and talks yet again about the horrible tragedy. She implies that everything done by the Moore camapign was illegal and part of some evil conspiracy. What Toni never wants to talk about is how her candidate, Don Gordon, fully utilized the resources available to him that put white men in suits out by the polling places on election day to "kindly" remind voters that they would not be able to vote without ID. A completely immoral and unethical thing to do especially considering this program tergeted precincts with the highest minority and poor residents. She also doesn't want to talk about how weak all of the supposed evidence of the Gordon Four was . If that wasn't true why were the Gordon volunteers out trying to collect evidence last weekend. What about the supposed video of Joe Moore saying hello in a polling place which was so very illegal in and of itself that the election should be overturned.

Their evidence is very limited and what little they have is weak. The case is tossed because their remedy is ridiculous and their case is nothing more than sore losers not letting it go. Finally, it seems like Harrington is far more interested in this than the former plaintiffs and Mr. Gordon the only remaining plaintiff.

Changing the Rogers Park Blog World

Today is a new day in the 5th most blogging community in the U.S. I have heard and read enough. I like Joe Moore. I like David Fagus, Jan Schakowsky, David Orr, and I am really happy Joe Moore won in April. So now that I have made that clear lets get blogging!

There is one point of this blog: commentary and criticism of the one-sided blog. I have no personal interest in Hugh & Toni or Craig or anyone else with "their point of view". This blog is going to be the other side of your one sided stories. Readers, if you don't like what they wrote, why bother with trying to get by their comment moderation and editing. Come hear and speak your piece.

Its time to hear the other side neighbors!
