What a great neighborhood.

Thank you! In one month this blog has had over 4,000 hits! It just shows what a close knit neighborhood this is! I never thought it would take off like this. I am proud to call myself a 60655er. I started this blog and sent the link to 10 people and it has spread from there. There is no reason that when united we cannot get things done in this neighborhood!

Child Lure Incident

I have had several comments on this -

such as -

Child Lure Incident on 105th & Troy, on Weds. 1/7, a 7 year old female was approached by 3 males driving a silver car, asking how old she was, where was her mother, etc. They drove North on Troy. The child reported the incident to an adult who called the police.

On Jan 7 2009 at approximately 6:00pm. A silver car with 3 male blacks stopped their car at 105th and Troy and asked a 7year old girl strange questions such as where is your mother? etc and then fled the scene. This was reported to the police and a citywide fax was sent out in the police dept. messaging system.

The post about the 3/m/1's stopping and asking questions of a f/2/7 is true. I also saw the fax message come out. The questions were indeed strange. It was listed as an attempt child luring. The info was given by the family I would guess but no one is in custody. They asked other q's besides where is your mother which were a bit odd. The story is true though and can be verified if necessary through the 022nd District. Please be aware these types are roaming the neighborhood.

Best of Polls - Just for Fun

The next couple of polls will be for fun, not so much the "best of."

The schools' poll is dedicated basically to the grammar and high schools in the immediate area where 60655ers would attend. Clissold and Sutherland are technically in 60643, but there are tons of 60655ers that go there, same with McAuley and Rice. Rita, Mt. Carmel, etc. are great schools with lots of neighborhood kids, but not in the immediate area. Hope that's clear, I don't want to be raked over the coals on this one... (sorry for not listing Barbara Vick, but see above about grammar and high school - sorry about no MPA listed, and it's too late to add it now as the first vote has been cast, I am sure it is a very good school)

YOU CAN MAKE MULTIPLE CHOICES ON THIS ONE FOR THOSE FAMILIES OUT THERE THAT HAVE KIDS AT DIFFERENT SCHOOLS.

Why 60655?

The blog has asked the question of where you came from, now it's asking why? Why did you choose this area? What's makes this area home to you? What do YOU like about this area?

Best of 60655 - Winner

Well, Pop's won by a landslide with 50% of the vote. Next poll will be listed later today or tomorrow.
