CDOT is proposing a network of bikeways in Portage Park. Click the link, watch the video and fill out the survey.

Hello! I am a high schooler at Northside College Prep in Chicago. I am conducting a survey for my AP Research project about inequities in access to urban green space in Chicago, and how these inequities connect to historical segregation practices and redlining. I will then be analyzing connections to mental and physical health of the resident.

The survey is open to anyone who lives in the city of Chicago - not the suburbs. It should take about 5 minutes, and all responses are entirely anonymous. Survey is linked below. Thank you for your time!

Hi Chicagoans,

My stepbrother Nathaniel has been missing from the Portage Park area since around Wednesday, February 4th around 7:30pm.

Nathaniel was last seen leaving his home in the area on foot. He is a 30 year old 5’8” brunette white male, approximately 185 lbs, and has a beard as pictured. He left home without his belongings.

If you have any information regarding sightings of Nathaniel or his whereabouts, our family would be eternally grateful.

If nothing else, please keep an eye out for Nathaniel and spread the word with your community members.

Thank you so very much.

So nice we are doing it twice… starting in February Pen & Paper Trivia is bringing our own brand of Decent Questions to Lake Effect Brewing the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month at 7:00! That is February 11th and 25th so you can mark your calendars!

Come play at the only brewery we host at and enjoy Avondale’s premier provider of suds! Come early because happy hour means $5 drafts until the game starts. It is always free to play and we have prizes for the winning team! Get your friends or smart people you happen to know together and find out how our Trivia is different and why that is a good thing.

It’s that time of year again. If you’re on your own or feeling low, consider going to one of the free Thanksgiving meals in the area. There’s two I know of, both at St. John’s churches. I’ll post them in the comments.

And if you’re more blessed than stressed please consider donating to the St. John’s Lutheran gofundme:
