  • Court Advocacy
    A precious few of us make time to ensure that our presence felt, supporting our good neighbors and letting the courts know that we care about law and order in our part of Chicago. // BRING IT HERE, and TELL IT LIKE IT IS, but please limit information to the essentials (non-sensitive, for public consumption only) // New volunteers will find Q&A about Court Advocacy and points of contact here, as soon as we get the info posted.

  • SSAs, TIFs and other thorny dilemmas...
    Millions of dollars of our property taxes are being re-directed from our schools, police, and fire departments, supposedly for the betterment of our community. Together let's follow the money and compare what is delivered to what is promised. Post membership, agendas, and minutes of SSA Commission meetings. Post SSA budgets and TIF poject proposals. Understand TIFs, understand SSAs.

  • Humor
    Jokes, pictures, stories, links to humorous articles, etc... ***NOTE***: Before you flame or berate us for hosting what doesn't qualify as "humor" (perhaps it is simply not funny to you), or to tell us that you either love or hate so-n-so or this-n-that, please note that this is merely a HUMOR section, and that we believe in equal opportunity abuse. If you are involved with politics, then you should know by now that lampooning is part of the process. In fact, we are only doing our duty to the public, and we will continue to host pieces on all political figures, regardless of their leanings, foibles or proximity. Instead of complaining, send us some of your best political jokes.
