I have lived close to this garden for over 10 years and have known the owners of the church with attached garden. When they left last year they entrusted a few neighbors with keys to the garden, in case it started to turn into an eye sore....as they wouldn't know how it would be cared for being back in Puerto Rico. Last year I spoke with the new renters and they assured me that they "had it....don't worry...we've got the garden under control." But, as the year has worn on....I've watched this lovely little garden become an over grown viney-jungle of sorts. It breaks my heart. I know the original owners would never have wanted that. I'm rarely on everyblock, but have been told that this garden has been mentioned before. Are there people that want to help go over and help clean it up? I have a set of keys, and the original owners gave me permission to help with it's up keep. I think I have given the renters enough time to show how much they care/ and how well they will keep up with the garden. I think it's time to see if we might be able to start a little group that might meet up once a month....have pot luck...and keep it clean. I'm unsure how to truly turn it into a "community garden" as I think it is really tied to the church somehow....but I'm sure there would be a way in the future to keep it a garden as long as it is cared for and have it then deeded to the local community. I just wanted to see how many would be interested to help and what weekend might work best for everyone. :)

Mega Mall Development Renderings
Curbed has some "leaked" renderings of a potential development of the Mega Mall site here:
Jim Mitchell 11-year Logan Square resident
Jason, that's no doubt true, although I think a lot of the proposed parking spaces are to cover the fitness center. No science here and I could be wrong, but it's my observation (and common fodder for comedians for years) that everybody drives to their workouts and then jockeys for a parking space as close as possible to the door.
If it were just a grocery and a handful of smaller stores, they probably could cut the number of spaces significantly.
Jason W Lifelong Chicagoan
What's wrong with a fitness center? If people want to drive there, they'll park inside, and when they leave, they're gone. What's the issue? If we want the neighborhood go get better, we need economic development. That brings traffic - it's a package deal.

Over Night Blue Line Construction
Our bedroom face the Western Blue Line stop. We are used to sleeping through the standard train sounds, but last night, they began night construction and we were awake for the entire thing. Although loud, the actual machinery is tolerable. What kept us up was the intermittent sound of boards or something similar being thrown from the el into large metal dumpsters on the ground. Every time I dozed off for a second, BOOM! Anyone know how long this is supposed to last? Should they be throwing materials from the tracks? I am exhausted.

Anyone have info about Paradise Garden?
There is a very nice looking garden at the corner of Drake and Lyndale that has a sign calling it Paradise Garden. There are many nice plants there as well as a gazebo and some benches. However, it has a fence surrounding it and I've never seen it unlocked in the year I've been living near it. Does anyone know the story behind this place? If anyone knows the owner, is there any chance it could be opened up some time for people in the area to visit and/or help maintain it?
Hi Everyone! I actually live right across the street. When I moved into my building, my neighbor informed me that it is actually owned by the couple that own the building in front of it on Palmer and Drake. It has tax exempt status because it is actually a small church. They mass on Sunday mornings.
Just wanted to let you guys know someone posted a new thread on this garden ... More info and a chance to help with upkeep => http://chicago.everyblock.com/improvement/aug20-paradise-garden-drake-and-lyndale-6331768/?utm_campaign=digest&utm_medium=email&utm_source=digest

Petition for I AM Logan Square to Remove Mark Fishman from their Board
"There is growing vocal discontent about Mark Fishman's control and usage of the Milwaukee Avenue Arts Festival (MAAF), as a tool to increase his substantial development and real estate holdings."
To find out more about this petition or sign it yourself: http://www.change.org/p/i-am-logan-square-ials-remove-mark-fishman-treasurer-from-your-board?recruiter=30671237&utm_campaign=signature_receipt&utm_medium=email&utm_source=share_petition
Agree with rogerparker. Fishman is a huge part of the reason the festival exists in the first place and the reason it has money to continue. Removing him from the board seems only like a kneejerk reaction from a person who very publicly had a bad time at the festival this year.
I would support that!!!!

Milshire Hotel closing
From DNA info
LOGAN SQUARE — The Milshire Hotel, one of Chicago's few remaining single-room housing options for the troubled, will close next month, according to the building's owner.
The residents have until May 31 to find new places to live.
"After over 43 years in the Logan Square area, I have decided to close the Milshire Hotel," said a notice to each resident signed "Your Landlord/Friend, Art."
"I wish you all well, and hope you find another place to live that you will be happy in."
See article for the rest. I ran out of characters.

If you can make it, please RSVP here.
As a reminder, this is the most recent example of SRO loss in our City, but it's not too late to save it as affordable housing because the developer who wants to buy it hasn't finalized any transaction. We will be there to support the preservation of the building as affordable housing and also to promote our work on the Chicago for All Ordinance and Coalition.

The tenants union of the Milshire Hotel SRO have come to a settlement requiring tenants to move out by Sept. 2 in exchange for a cash settlement. (Lenny Gilmore)
By Megan Crepeau, @crepeau, RedEye
Residents of the beleaguered Milshire Hotel agreed Wednesday to move out by 5 p.m. Sept. 2 in exchange for $4,000 per unit and a promise that owners of the single-room occupancy building will not attempt to collect back rent.
Tenants of the Milshire, 2525 N. Milwaukee Ave., have been tussling with management since April, when residents were notified of plans to sell the building and told to vacate. Some residents stayed and formed a tenants union, arguing that they had not been given proper eviction notices and that conditions at the building were so bad that making them leave would be a public hazard. About 18 residents remain in the building, said Tim Mahnke, Milshire tenant and president of the tenants union.
An ordinance passed by the City Council last month prohibits the city from issuing permits for SRO redevelopment for six months or until updated SRO regulation is passed.
In the meantime, if all goes according to plan, the Milshire will stand empty after Labor Day. But the Milshire saga isn't over—a rumored sale to controversial developer Mark Fishman still may be in the works, and the city has filed a legal complaint against the building for its extreme bed bug infestation.

Logan square eagle monument
Does anyone know who takes care of the park around the eagle monument in logan square. I recently moved back to logan square and this past Saturday i took my kids for a walk around the eagle monument and found teenagers smoking weed and a lot of bums around the park area around the eagle monument.
it's sad to see a beautiful area go to waste when it can be taken care of for the residents of logan square to enjoy.
Please help by passing the word out so that the area around the eagle can be cleaned and taken care of so our children and enjoy it.
I can't speak for everyone but in my case I don't want my kids to be around people smoking weed. Maybe it's because I was raised in a time when respect meant something and when cursing public was bad.

Fire Department hiring
My husband and I just went to lunch at Van Phat and a Chicago Fireman was handing out brochures. They are looking to hire firefighters. The test dates are December 13th and 14th, and the deadline for sign up is September 16th
He said they give the test every ten years. The website is: www.cityofchicago.org/fire application.
Giving the test every ten years is ridiculous. Even if they don't think they need to give the test more often because they have armloads of applicants, the test should be given every year at least. It's organizational nepotism, just a slightly more subtle version than Chicago has been infamous for.

I have had Comcast for both...not good internet would go down and the tech support was horrible! AT&T Internet has been good except they charged me a lot to fix a small issue with my apartments phone line. I have DirecTv mid-range package which has worked for me and my family (wife amd two toddler daughters). They provide equipment and usually give you free NFL Sunday Ticket free for first year(if you are football fan might be a draw). Only complaints are service going out with really bad weather (maybe lasts for 5is mins), canceling Sunday Ticket is a hassle (have to wait until the start of the next year's season, like Aug., before you can do so) and the occasional sales calls (every 6-8 weeks). But theydo give a lot of free previews for extra channels so that is a nice bonus! Hope thay helps and welcome tothe neighborhood!
We got Uverse the moment it became available in LS several years ago (not kidding, we were the third install). No problems so far.

Barber shop recommendation in Logan Square
I need to get my ears lowered. I'm just back to Logan Square after a 5-year absence, and need a new barber.
I'm looking for a spot with walk-ins and not more than $20 pre-tip. Willing to wait for a chair in exchange for attention to detail.
Where do you go?
Kevin_M Logan Square resident since 2007
Joe's on Fullerton is consistently voted best barber shop in the entire city (according to the Reader). The runner up for two years running is Pete's on Elston. I go back and forth to both. You will get a great haircut at either one, but sometimes the wait gets ridiculous - especially at Pete's. But Pete is a good guy - he offers you a Hamm's on the house, and will even call you when you're on deck if you choose to run some errands before they get to you.
Paul Smith EveryBlock co-founder. Logan Square resident.
I wound up going to Yohel's on Fullerton & Mozart, got a solid trim, didn't wait long, $15 + tip.

The featured bout on the prelims of UFC on Fox 5 is no more. Just nine days before the December 8th card in Seattle, UFC president Dana White tweeted that Lavar Johnson is out of his fight with Brendan Schaub. Here's what the boss had to say:
Lavar Johnson is out of the FOX prelims with a pulled groin. He was fighting Brendan Shcaub.— Dana White (@danawhite) November 30, 2012
It seems unlikely that they could find a replacement for Johnson on such short notice, but who knows. There aren't any other heavyweight fights on the card, so there's no one to bump up. At least heavyweights don't need to cut weight, so they might be able to find someone in shape and ready to scrap. Pat Barry is scheduled to fight just one week later though, and he's a similar fighter to Johnson. Just sayin'.
Schaub (8-3) hasn't competed since Ben Rothwell put him to sleep at UFC 145 in April. He'll be looking to stop a two-fight losing streak if anyone steps up to fight him.
UPDATE - According to Ariel Helwani, Schaub won't fight on the card now:
White initially told MMAFighting.com that he wasn't sure if Schaub would remain on the Dec. 8 card, however, Schaub's manager Lex McMahon later told MMAFighting.com that the heavyweight will not compete next Saturday night due to the late-notice injury.
"Brendan is very disappointed," McMahon said, "but he is very dedicated and will be back to training. We will see how long Lavar is out and will assess Brendan's options. I'm confident the UFC will get Brendan back in the Octagon soon. "

(Editor's note - I am posting this for a would-be member that has had difficulty getting his membership to launch.)
The Tale of Sacramento
For the citizens of Sacramento and Northern California the opportunity to build a world class downtown that revitalizes the economy and community has arrived. The "term sheet" for a better Sacramento exists, the plan is in place with only one component to go. All that's needed is willing owners of an NBA anchor tenant. So how can Sacramento get NBA owners that are willing to be partners with the city? One way is to let the Maloof's overplay their hand and then pounce. Ladies and Gentlemen, presenting George Maloof, the NBA Board of Governors and The Tale of Sacramento.
So what is The Tale of Sacramento?
It's an ugly affair to have seen and severe warning for other cities to heed. The Tale of Sacramento is simple...if you play by the rules, meet all the deadlines, come up with the partners, develop a good plan, reach a deal and even if you produce the money....you can still lose in the end. If the city has been a good partner means zero. The NBA's word and effort could be worth nothing. Even owners tears, possibly fake and subject to review.
As The Tale of Sacramento grows in reach, as more city mayors and city councils hear, as more communities become aware, as Kings fan shove this narrative viscously deep down the media's throat, the NBA Board of Governors will almost certainly face a decision on relocation. If they vote to allow the Maloof's to relocate then The Tale of Sacramento will be a shadow darkening their arena prospects for decades. A major weapon to be continually used against them, justification and fuel for all groups opposed to public/private arena financing. It will be a precedent. A bad precedent.
Does the Board of Governors want this future? A future where all potential arena partners forever have The Tale of Sacramento lurking, ready to kill any deal? A future where partners continually fear that NBA owners might shake their hand, have a photo-op and a week later demand better terms or the deal is off? Available to the Board of Governors is another choice, a different future.
The Tale of Sacramento is not yet complete.
The ending is still unwritten. The opportunity for Sacramento to find a willing partner of the people exists. The chance for the best ending possible still looms.
The Tale of Sacramento can be a fairy tale, a shining example, a movie waiting to be made. All that is needed for the community to win and for the game to prosper in the Capital City is a no vote on relocation by the NBA Board of Governors. If the Maloof's are told by the Board of Governors that they had a good arena deal, they blew it and they must fix their own mess...then the Maloof's will fail and the team will eventually have to be sold. There is no investor that will build the Maloof's a new arena in Natomas for free adult movies at the Palms or tickets to the Maloof Cup and if we learned anything on Friday the 13th it's that the Maloof's are as broke as we thought (74 million dollars fronted by the NBA to pay their 73.25 million dollar share of the ESC project). So besides finding a secret SacTown sugar daddy, if the Maloof's are told they can't move the team, they'll be at the end of their run. A no vote turns The Tale of Sacramento into a feel good story. Sacramento gets its partner in redevelopment and builds a world class downtown, possibly even landing the Olympics. Meanwhile the NBA keeps its reputation while upgrading owners.
Or, the Board of Governors can vote yes to relocation and The Tale of Sacramento can end as a flop and disgrace. Seattle part two but much worse. A P.R. nightmare from hell that will linger like garlic breath. A cautionary account that demands all current and future NBA cities take notice, that all political leaders recalculate their level support for the NBA. It will be a precedent that makes building arenas with public money a much, much harder proposition.
Certainly other paths of resistance exist, for example boycotting the Maloof's sounds like good fun. But the real power lies with the Board of Governors, the Maloof's peers. They are the ultimate decision makers in this drama. The Kings play where the Board says they will play and nowhere else. And the members of the Board of Governors are business people. And the bottom line is the Maloof's are bad for business. So may be The Tale of Sacramento, unless the Board decides otherwise. Kings fans have every right to remind the Board of Governors and media of these facts. Sacramento has a tale to tell, time to start telling it.

Urban Cowboy
Ever wonder what vintage plus preppie plus cowboy equals? Lookie here. Plus, timely men's watches and the talent behind Blessings Jewelry.
(page 3 of 4)
Best of the Blessed
Cancer survivor Cheryl Richardson has a bead on creating unique, handmade jewelry.
Cheryl Richardson counts her blessings every day. You should count them, too.
Richardson is the creator of Blessings Jewelry, sold exclusively at Lady's Image in Wilmington. The line includes gorgeous bracelets, earrings and necklaces fashioned of everything from hand-carved beads of agate to pieces of seashell to bits of coral. Works range from dainty to large necklaces that can't help making a statement. Colors cover the spectrum. "It's everyday art to wear with everything," says Lady's Image owner Jane Strobel.
Richardson named the collection after a struggle with stage IV breast cancer. She attributes her recovery to prayer and beading. Richardson started as therapy for her hands, which shake from nerve damage caused by chemotherapy. "I got tired of knitting scarves," she says with a laugh.
Richardson travels the mid-Atlantic in search of beads and clasps. She finds ideas in art and architecture, literature and other places. She prays for inspiration. And sometimes, she says, "I just fiddle and fool until it looks right and feels right." Each piece represents an effort to create something that will be treasured for many years, so each is given an appropriate name—Irish Mist, Merlot Moment, Buckingham—numbered, then labeled with a handmade tag.
If you haven't counted Blessings among the pieces in your jewelry box, meet the artist at Lady's Image on June 9-11. A portion of the proceeds from sales of Blessings Jewelry will benefit the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition. For more, call 478-7921, or visit

After appearing in movies such as Lassie Come Home and National Velvet during the 1940s, Elizabeth Taylor became a child star, but, unlike many child stars, she was able to make the transition to playing adult characters. During the 1950s, Elizabeth Taylor's career soared, and she starred in fifteen movies.
The transition from juvenile roles to adult ones was aided by Hollywood's glamorization of Elizabeth Taylor. Even while she was still a child, studio publicity photographs glamorized the young Elizabeth, as can be seen in a 1944 photograph. Although the frilly blouse she wore is certainly modest, her pose in a reclining position with her hair flowing freely, is provocative, especially considering that she was only twelve years old at the time.

Peterson had surgery for a sports hernia on Thursday. The Vikings made the announcement on their website and say they "expect a speedy recovery with no long-term concerns." Peterson had the procedure in Philadelphia.||||||| Peterson, who also was named offensive player of the year after returning from a torn ACL to rush for 2,097 yards, was bothered by an abdominal injury for the last month of the season. He sat out the fourth quarter against Houston in December, which may have kept him from breaking Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record.
Peterson's sensational season following major knee surgery has earned him The Associated Press 2012 NFL Most Valuable Player Award.||||||| Earlier Saturday, Peterson won Offensive Player of the Year. The Minnesota Vikings running back finished with 2,019 yards, a mere 9 yards short of breaking Eric Dickerson's rushing record. Peterson beat out Peyton Manning, who in his first season as Denver's quarterback contended for a fifth MVP trophy. Manning's four are a record. Peterson received 30 1-2 votes from a nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the NFL. Manning got the other 19 1-2 votes.
Peterson was an unanimous choice for The Associated Press All-Pro team announced Saturday.||||||| Peterson, who came within 9 yards of breaking Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record, is a three-time All-Pro.
Peterson isn't about to let up after his awe-inspiring season for the Minnesota Vikings. After rushing for 2,097 yards and nearly breaking the NFL record just one year after reconstructive surgery on his left knee, Peterson is planning on a similarly intense offseason regimen.||||||| Peterson said Monday as the Vikings cleared out their lockers that he wants to get as many teammates as he can to join him for his workouts. The Vikings lost in Green Bay to the Packers in the NFC playoffs on Saturday to finish 10-7, a seven-win improvement from last year. Peterson said he'll take some time to rest his body, but not much. He said his rehabilitation program showed him the benefit of starting preseason training early.
Peterson was held to 99 yards in Saturday's playoff loss - an improvement after gaining 199 and 210 in the first two games against Green Bay.||||||| It was only the second time in the last 11 games that he was held below 100 yards.

August 20, 2003
Albany-- The Florida Department of Health recently issued a warning for people who want to get a henna tattoo, saying that some forms of the process may be hazardous. They say that henna can cause itching, rashes, swelling and scarring of the skin.
Henna tattoos are temporary. They come from an extract of a plant found in India. Albany business owner, Stephen Bradford, who applies henna tattoos at the BioBuzz, says henna is completely safe.
He says some people are not using the proper mixture, and that is giving henna a bad name. "There is a black henna dye that is coined a henna tattoo that really isn't henna. It's either colorization dyes used in the henna paste or not even a henna paste at all," says Bradford.
All natural henna is green and powdery. Henna tattoos should have a green tint and never be completly black.
