Morgan Park Academy Link added

I added a link to Morgan Park Academy after receiving the email below.

Could you please add a link for Morgan Park Academy? I think it is a wonderful, hidden gem in our community. Did you know they have a 20 acre campus and they rent out all of their facilities for private functions? How great would a birthday party be in their atrium in the summer or in their new gymnasium.

I thought this was very cool.

Poll

Well it looks like 39% of our bloggers in 60655 like to go to the parade and then to a house party. 35% like to avoid it altogether and stay home.

In light of the fact that baseball is coming upon us quickly...where does your loyalty fall? Red/blue or black/white? North or south?

As Nipsy suggested, there will be no neutral vote in this poll. It's Cubs or Sox.

I know it will be hard with this touchy subject, but please be nice with the comments.

If I fall in a pothole, will I reach China?

Some of these potholes are so big now, I fear for the safety of my person and vehicle. I swear, I caught myself this morning on the way to the Metra station watching the road in front of me in order to avoid the potholes that are every 3 feet. I wasn't watching the cars in front of me, but the actual road. How dangerous is that? When does the City usually come out and fix these things? The next week looks relatively warm.

Where have you found the worst potholes to be? The intersection of 111th and Western is horrendous, which slows down rush hour traffic to a crawl.

This week's open post 3/2 - 3/8

Here's this week's open post. Please post all your off topics, questions, etc here. Thanks.

J.R. Boz Sweets and Eats

As the weather is getting warmer and spring is around the corner, we will soon be thinking of Ice Cream. Please visit J.R. Boz's Sweets and Eats at 3402 W. 111th Street at Homan. It is a wonderful little piece of nostalgia with the penny candy we will all remember plus a lot of the new favorites. The ice cream counter serves all our favorites made with Edy's Brand Ice Cream.

Support our local businesses and give this wonderful business a visit.

Southside Irish Parade

The parade is two weeks from tomorrow. Are you ready? If you go to the parade, where do you watch it from? East or West Side of Western? 103, 1o5, 111th, etc????
