New Links

By reader request, we've added a couple links recently to the sidebar:

EveryBlock Chicago - to see what's happening around a particular address

Ward Map of the 46th Ward - because the one on the alderman's website has teeny-tiny type, and this one can be zoomed in on to make it more legible.

  1. Question.. Is that green door all the way at the very top of the page, away from all the crime and Wilson Yard, in the 'Heart of Andersonville' and not really located in Uptown... is that little green door Shillers home?

  2. That "green door" would be "Carmen Playlot" which is just to the east of the Alderman's home. FYI, just about where the "E" in "Carmen" is on the map would be where she lives.

  3. UU thanks for the links. Everyblock lets you search by ward. So people can compare wards. Everyblock is a great site.

  4. Is it me or does the gerrymandering of the northern border seem to be done in part to put the Uptown Theater, Uptown Bank Building, and the Goldblatts/Borders buildings in Mary Anne Smith's ward? Does anyone know why?
