Chicago Reader Blogs: News Bites
Chicago Reader Blogs: News Bitesblog has a bit of info and links about the sale of the Chicago Reader. I can’t help but be pessimistic about this as I fear this will have an affect on what the Reader covers and will look/reads like. I hope my fears are ungrounded and that Creative Loafing doesn’t meddle much or at all.

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Metro & Tri-State :: Plan calls for pricier parking along busy streets
CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Metro & Tri-State :: Plan calls for pricier parking along busy streets
Mixed feelings about this one. First off, when did my hood (edgewater) become as trendy as logan square or hyde park. Second, they do mention that money from the meters would go toward better designated crosswalks and bike lanes. I am all about the bike lanes. My concern is that with meters rates increasing ppl will just park in the neighborhood streets, making it harder to find street parking near our apartment.
ugh…

Helping out…
So the bottle is hosting 2 benefits. One for Jay Robins this saturday and one for Tom Curtis . If you cant make it out on tues you can easily drop a donation and/or by some raffle tickets at the bottle any night until then. It really warms my heart to see a place like the bottle and the music community in chicago in general coming and helping those in trouble anyway they can.

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Politics :: City loses voters’ vital information
CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Politics :: City loses voters’ vital information
Good article to read, and found in the suntimes no less (the better of the 2 papers in my opinion). There is a mention of the following web site re4m.org where you can request more information. That 43rd Alderman candidate sounds like someone really ontop of internet and e-voting security.
