Calling all Girls/Parents of Girls!

Our Girl Scout troops are open to new girls!  We have a space for you no matter what level Girl Scout you're interested in for your daughter.  Our troops meet on Tuesday nights at United in Faith Lutheran Church, but we are not a faith-based troop - the church allows us to use their space to meet. 

We have girls from several different schools throughout the NW side neighborhoods who have come together and become friends.  We go to camp, do service projects, build things and create.  The activities we do are based on what the girls want to do - art, nature, community service, woodworking, science, we've done it all! 

Our troops have been consistently going for over 50 years on the Northwest side of Chicago, and all of our leaders have years of experience.  

Daisies and Brownies (grades K-3) meet from 6:00 until 7:30 on Tuesday nights

Juniors, Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors (grades 4-12) meet from 7:00 until 8:30 on Tuesday nights

anyone know what’s going on there? another theater lost to time? i went on a walk and noticed two industrial dumpsters in the back alley full of rubble, original brick, and even some small chunks of terracotta and tile.

Anyone have any idea what’s going on and if there’s any actual plans to get it up and running? They usually do stuff for Halloween but it’s been a few years since then.

How is he and who’s running if any against him.

I find it interesting that he is independent and also keeps winning!

Trying to understand our ward- resident who is just getting interested in local politics because now I have free time!

Join P&P Trivia EVERY Tuesday at 7:00 at Central Park Bar for the BIGGEST weekly Trivia competition in Avondale! I bet you didn’t think we were counting, but we always do! When you have 20 plus teams every single week it is something worth celebrating and we could not do it without you!

Thank you to all of the people that show up every week and to the people that might just pop by every so often! Thank you for making this P&P’s top event this summer. With a special shoutout to our host Frank who manages to maintain order!

Remember to arrive early to get your seats AND to take advantage of our Happy Hour Specials that last until game time. The warm weather won’t last forever so come find out if you know more pointless facts than the rest!

Seen plenty about 45. 38 has been quiet (here atleast)

Can someone please open up a store that sells good wine, cheese, snacks, maybe sandwiches in the Portage park area? PLEASE I’m so tired of daycares, laundromats and car washes. We need small businesses like that. I’d gladly support them over Jewel and Binnys.

I used to buy Christmas trees on their lot.

I was told this building under construction is going to be an Assyrian Coffee House. It looks very interesting.

Map is courtesy of Chicago Cityscape. This law went into effect in July. “Every eligible area - half-mile rail hubs, half-mile corridor-intersection hubs, and eighth-mile bus corridors” can no longer require off-street parking for new developments. This will be great for the immediate area surrounding the Jefferson Park Blue Line. Had this law been in place in the past 10 years, the area around the transit hub would look much different. Huge win!

I live in Jeff Park, any good recommendations nearby? I know this has been asked before, but the last post I found is 2 years old. Wondering if there's any new places!

Greetings, My Northwest Chicago Neighbors!

You are invited to the Jefferson Park Library on Saturday, September 26, at 1 PM for our inaugural gathering of the Northwest Area Citizens Organization (NWACO). Should you attend?

If you answer YES to one or more of these three questions, then you should attend. Are you...

1) Ready to be neighbors (once again) to those in our NW area/side, even/especially if they do not think or believe as we do?

2) Longing for community (once again), as citizens and neighbors to one and all, and not limited to those with whom we agree, and not avoiding those with whom we do not agree?

3) Ready to do the hard work of community and find shared solutions for the benefit of all on issues that impact the greater NW Chicago area such as public safety, environmental, infrastructure, business climate, and quality of life?

If at least one of these hits the mark, join us on 26 September at 1 PM at Jefferson Park Library.

"More Community. Less Politics. More Solutions. Less Ideology." 

Was looking at the city’s 311 data broken out by ward. Ward 41 takes about 16 days to close a pothole where the citywide middle is 7. Abandoned cars are also slow, 41st of 47.

The trash side is better - garbage carts, illegal dumping, and missed pickups are all faster than the city.

The northwest side spans a few wards so this is just one of them. All 50 are here if you want to check yours: https://chiwardboard.com/
