Shiller Please stop this positive movement for the Uptown area. If things like this continue, the streets may be a bit safer, people will not have to leave the trash of Uptwon to shop outside the area, and actually eat dinner in Uptown. Please take this one person e-mail and use it as your the People of Uptwon have spoke and they do not want safe sreets and retail here. What can your son make up to stop such a movement. Thank you - I want to be able to spit and sleep in front of a quit empty store front and not have people giving addtioanl tax dollars to the area. That is why we have you to give all the money to wasted efforts to help me.

ReplyDeleteTech Tip: What Ward? 101
ReplyDelete"What ward is it in?" is a question that comes up freqeuntly on this blog - and for good reason. The Ward maps provided by the Chicago municipal web site stink.
Going to the Chicago Board of Elections website (which is not linked on the City website) is the best means to find the Ward associated with an address:
Step 1:
http://www.chicagoelections.com
Step 2: Select Voters
Step 3: Select Find your Voting Place
Step 4: Enter the street address
(Name box can be left empty)
Step 5: Press Lookup.
Viola! It's in the 46th Ward.
Age has its rewards.
Oh sure local h, in the 5 minutes it took me to compose my long winded explanation you snuck in with the short version of the answer! Or it could be my slow, aging mind after all.
ReplyDeleteI think what's interesting though is what are we really going to talk about? It's at Kinectic Playground (46th) ward, but what area is UNC talking about new restaurants, etc... if it's the Border's thru Fat Cat area, that is Mary Ann Smith's ward. so while it's close, and still benefits us, are we (the 46th) ward getting new restaurants, etc? Just curious...
ReplyDeleteUmm, where does it talk about 46th ward? Unless I read the post wrong, it talks about Uptown, not the 46th ward.
