Poll
Well, looks like the majority are going to pay their bills with their refunds, followed by the lucky 20% who will be taking vacation.
New poll will be to see what the majority of 60655 does for employment, we are living in the City/County for a reason and in a neighborhood that is known for city and county workers.
*I know that there are those (like me) who do not work for the city or county and for obvious reasons I cannot list every profession out there, so we going to be voting under the "other" tab. HOWEVER, this poll will include multiple choices for those who are married to city or county workers.*

Digital TV Delay
update:
House Republicans managed Wednesday to defeat the so-called "DTV delay" bill—and that means that the planned Feb. 17 date for the digital TV transition is still on, barring any last-minute maneuvering by Democrats and the Obama administration.
**********************************
FROM THE SOUTHTOWN:
People who have not gotten their TV sets ready for the changeover to digital signals could earn a four-month reprieve under a bill making its way through Congress.
The Senate voted Monday to delay until June 12 the deadline for the changeover from analog to digital television broadcasting. People still getting their pictures through old-fashioned antennas otherwise would face a cutoff Feb. 17.
Comparable legislation is being readied in the House, and the Obama administration has called for a delay amid mounting concerns that too many Americans who rely on over-the-air broadcast signals won't be ready.
It's estimated that more than 6.5 million U.S. households are still not prepared for the upcoming transition.

Bucks for Barb
Benefit tomorrow at Bourbon Street. 1-6 p.m. See below:
In January 2008, Barbara Szykowny, was diagnosed with small cell Cancer, which was sited in her lung. Later, she would find that the cancer spread to her liver, parts of her spine, and hips.
Barbara has been enduring chemotherapy and radiation for the last several months and continues to undergo these treatments today. Aside, from the chemotherapy and radiation treatments, she continues to undergo testing on a regular basis to monitor her cancer. These tests include, bone scans, MRI’s, blood tests and doctor visits. These treatments, tests and visits are costly and insurance doesn’t cover much.
Family and friends have rallied together to form a benefit called “BUCKS FOR BARB” to help Barbara cover the astronomical medical bills during the course of Barbara’s heroic journey with cancer. Although, Barbara will never be cured from this type of cancer, this is a battle she will continue to fight everyday for the rest of her life.
Barbara (Colby/Sparr) is married to David Szykowny. Barbara is the mother of four loving children and the grandmother of eight. She lives in Mt. Greenwood, Illinois with her family. To help alleviate worrisome medical expenses, a benefit is being held.
