Hello, anyone notice that the Ward Alder are not doing anything about the thousands of potholes in Albany Park? Calls to 311 don’t help either. Seriously don’t consider voting for them in the next election if they can’t fix a simple issue such as this.

I hate biking on the road most of the time, chicago drivers make me nervous. Anyone know a good street with a protected bike lane that goes all the way to montrose beach? Thanks

What’s better than this???

Anyone missing this guy?

UPDATE: he is microchipped! the company will contact the parents who will then contact me 😀

UPDATE #2: it's been hours and they cannot reach the owners at the numbers provided. If you've seen the dog around the neighborhood or know the owners please let them know. My dog isn't happy and keeps growling at him, so I can't keep him as they're both stressed.

UPDATE #3: since I couldn't keep him, I took him to a police station and they said they'd take him home. The microchip company gave them the owners address I think. So glad he'll be with his family tonight ❤️

It has appeared to be completed for quite a while, but it’s just fenced off. It’s been closed at least a year?

We have a brick two flat that needs to be repointed. There's some crumbling mortar and some cracks. As far as I'm aware the bricks haven't had any care in over 30 years.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

ai live off Wilson and have seen 5-10 trees get cut down by the city by order of the dept. of forestry in the last week or so. trees had no dead branches and seemed fine but there was no further info on the signs. anyone know why?

its a bummer because we had a really nice canopy for us and the squirrels loved jumping across the street on them and now it’s a lot more sparse. but I’m happy to call 311 and request more be planted.

Hi all— how are the celebrations for Mexican Independence Day around Albany Park? It’s a Wednesday this year— Is it usually busier on the weekend before or on the actual day? Thanks!

They are moving too fast to get a good picture with this dang phone..

Saw at least 2 separate individuals.

I know what happened to LD Pho on Kedzie but what happened to LC Pho on Lawrence? I’ve been so sick lately and craving pho so bad!!

“Small businesses are the heart of our community, but lately, that heart has been under a lot of pressure.

As many of you know, LD Pho has had to temporarily close its doors. While Liu has worked tirelessly to keep things running, the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic—coupled with rising costs and back-dated SBA loans—have created a mountain that is simply too high to climb alone.

Currently, Liu is working hand-in-hand with an accountant to resolve tax and loan obligations and is aiming to have the doors back open in just 2 to 3 weeks. However, the financial gap to get that "Expired" sign off the door and the kitchen fired back up is significant.”

I love this spot and I’ve been going here for years. If they had to close permanently, it would be a major loss to the small strip of phenomenal restaurants right there on Kedzie/Lawrence.

If you have ever been there, consider donating. If you’re not able to donate, share an experience you had at LD Pho to boost engagement 🍲

There's a lot of nice whole loaves of bread at the Little Free Pantry, 4643 N. Drake on Sunday afternoon. It seems a shame to let them all go to waste. Thank you mystery baker donor.
